Another little minor discovery: the town square seen in Petrograd 1917 was filmed right outside the Palace of the Maltese Knights in Prague. This is the large stone building in the left of the frame below. Most of the Petrograd street scenes were filmed right in this general area, so this wasn't to hard to find.

Some long word that begins with "P." As usual, I began typing various combinations of letters into Google Maps until I came across "Pernerova" street in Prague 8. I then followed the length of the street in Street View until this building came into view:
Yet another exciting find, as it still looks very similar to how it did in the show.
