Volgograd (Stalingrad) - The journey back to the Soviet Union

In this video I’ll show you around Volgograd - one of the 16 Russian cities populated by more than people. Volgograd is known for its Soviet history, especially for the period of the Second World War as an epicenter of the Stalingrad Battle. Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad, holds a significant place in World War II history as the site of one of the deadliest and most pivotal battles of the conflict. The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between 1942 and 1943 was a brutal confrontation between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. The city became a symbol of resistance, endurance, and sacrifice during this intense struggle. Today, Volgograd stands as a living testament to its wartime history. The city has preserved numerous landmarks and monuments that commemorate the sacrifices made during the Battle of Stalingrad. I’ll visit not only the Mamayev Kurgan but also some less known memorials that reflect the history of the city.
