Kropotkin's Escape
"The first person to escape from the fortress prison was the anarchist Prince Peter Kropotkin in 1876." I have removed this sentence as it seems to be a misreading of the source which refers to his escape from the House of Detention in Saint Petersburg, a minimal-security prison to which he was transferred to from the Peter and Paul Fortress due to his poor health. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stoker92 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Shouldn't someone perhaps add that HIM The Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia has also been buried there more recently? I think this would be a good addition.

Aditional prisoners
I seem to remember that Trotsky was also held in a cell in the fortress. Maelli (talk) 15:01, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Poor wording for period of use as a prison
Perhaps we should change the wording for the period when the fortress was used as a prison ("Between the first half of the 1700s and early 1920s"). I had trouble understanding it, and there appear to be better representations of this range in the history section of the article (i.e. "From around 1720").
