The political division into a western Swedish and an eastern Russian Finland did not have its equivalent in respect of trade. It was not only the economy of the Vyborg guberniya which slowly but surely **began to look eastwards** towards the city on the Neva. The greater the demand from the St Petersburg market became, the greater the city’s pull on the south coast of Finland still belonging to Sweden.

My version is: The economy of Vyborg began to be dependent on the economy of the city on the Neva (St. Petersburgh).

Is this correct?
