Many people in the City have been trying to get the name changed back to Stalingrad for quite a few years . the campaign is led by the Stalingrad veterans association.

Interesting pictures! By the way Stalin can be a hero for many people but for many he is just a war criminal just like hitler. So no wonder people do not want to live in a city named by a mass murderer. Russian history is not just years 1941-1945.

I don't think Stalin is a hero to many people in Russia today, much like other communist leaders and leaders of present day Russia. Trotsy(Lev Bronstein) was a mass murderer so was Lenin, Kaganovich, Sverdlov, Yagoda and many others. Ilyia Ehrenburg even promoted killing and mass rape of Germans in his propaganda writings. G W Bush for that matter is also a mass murderer, but all that is a different story.

Very nice pictures Paul E. Keep them comming. Thanks a lot.
