- Volgograd is a city situated in the south of Russia, along the banks of the River Volga. Although never exceeding 4 miles in width, the city extends over 50 miles in length, making it the second biggest urban sprawl on Earth, and leading to its affectionate nickname, “the dribble”.

It is also well-known for being the place where the Wehrmacht suffered a devastating battle. Joseph Stalin had the "city of the Tsars" renamed for himself after coming to power. As part of de-Stalinisation, the city was renamed Volgograd after the Volga River. But since February 2013, the city's name is to be commemorated as Stalingrad six days each year to acknowledge the great battle.
