Volgograd
Volgograd is a city on the west bank of the lower Volga in southern Russia, founded as the fortress of Tsaritsyn in 1589. Its defence against the Whites in 1918–1919, in which Stalin took part, led to its renaming as Stalingrad in 1925. The Battle of Stalingrad of 1942–1943, a decisive Soviet victory over Germany, destroyed most of the city, which was renamed Volgograd in 1961.
