In the notes for #2, it says that it was known as Petrograd until the communist era. It was actually only known as Petrograd very briefly. It was during WWI, and "burg" has German etymology, so they changed it from Saint Petersburg. This obviously applies to #3 as well.
An option in #6 says "A famine struck the".
And finally, how mean do you want to be? Rasputin was killed on December 30, 1916... awfully close to 1917!
Anyway, fun stuff. I totally confused Pushkin with a minister for the Tsar.
For the first point, I actually didn't know, that's indeed very interesting. I'll fix that in the quiz.
I may be wrong, but I felt like the exact date of Rasputin's death was pretty well known. But if the stats show that I'm too cruel with my dear quiztakers, I'll definitely show them compassion and change it. I guess that the revoutions are also pretty clearly associated with 1917. But that's an interesting proximity to notice.
Same correction for no.6
Great one otherwise!
