Catherine the Great built it to house her art collection, and successive Tsars and Tsarinas enhanced the building, which was eventually considered to be the most elaborate of the Tsarist Palaces. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

In 1916, the Spy Master, disguised as Grigori Rasputin, used the Winter Palace as a staging ground for The Master's Dalek Plan. (TV: The Power of the Doctor)

In 1917, the last Tsar was overthrown and the first Soviet government moved into the Palace. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

The Second Doctor, Jamie McCrimmon, Ben Jackson and Polly Wright attempted to visit the Winter Palace in St Petersburg in 1782, but they materialised in the vicinity of Stalingrad in 1942 instead. (AUDIO: The Night Witches)
