About Volgograd City
Formerly known as Stalingrad or Tsaritsyn, Volgograd is situated on the west bank of the Volga River in the Volgograd Region. The history of city begins from little fortress Tsaritsyn, that was founded in 1589. The fortress was established to help defend the southern border of tsarist Russia but it soon became a trading settlement. Though Volgograd's history was somewhat turbulent, it soon became a great city. Under the rule of Stalin it became very industrialized and it eventually became the site of the costliest battle in the history of mankind - the Battle of Stalingrad. Unfortunately much of the city was destroyed in this battle, but it was quickly reconstructed. Many of the attractions to be seen in Volgograd are in memory of the lives lost and the bravery of those people who repelled the invading German forces and possibly changed the history of the world.
