Vladimir Zhirinovsky proposed to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad

On the day of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi forces in Stalingrad, the LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky, trying to gain political points also as a registered candidate for the presidency of Russia, made a noteworthy proposal. According to Vladimir Zhirinovsky, it is necessary to return Volgograd historical name. At the same time, Zhirinovsky himself has not yet decided unambiguously whether Tsaritsyn or Stalingrad.

From the note of the candidate for the presidency of the country:

The city needs to return either the historical name Tsaritsyn or give it the name under which it entered the history of the world - that is, Stalingrad. Of course, in no case can you connect the return of the name with Stalin himself, but it so happened that it was under that name that the city became known to the world.

Further, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party adds that he is still more inclined to return to Volgograd the name Stalingrad, which the city lost in the 1961 year.

Zhirinovsky quotes RIA News:

Neither Volgograd, nor Tsaritsyn, but Stalingrad became a symbol of Russian courage, willpower, power, patriotism, invincibility. And today, with all our attitude towards Stalin himself, we need to meet the citizens who would like to restore, to perpetuate the memory of the heroism of their dead ancestors.

Recall that Stalingrad was renamed to Volgograd against the background of the campaign unraveling in the country to “dethrone the personality cult of Stalin.” As you know, the main ideologist of this campaign was the then head of state, Nikita Khrushchev.

It should be noted that today (according to official interpretation) the city can be called Stalingrad on the days of the most important military dates. Today is such a day - the 75 anniversary of the defeat of the Nazis on the Volga.

Yes, Zhirinovsky can say everything. From time immemorial, this was permitted by court jesters.

In my opinion, this should be decided by the residents of Volgograd. Just elections on the nose at the same time and hold a mini referendum on the name :) Let them vote for the name of their city.

Leningrad, Sverdlovsk renamed, no one asked the people of Russia, the same Gorky all depended on those in power. Kiev surrendered, so would St. Petersburg and Volgograd.
Other names were therefore not handed over to the fascists

Quote: DPN

No, names in these cases are not the main reason for Victory. Kiev was left in August 41, when the entire front was raining, and many believed that there was still room for retreat. In Stalingrad and Leningrad there was nowhere to retreat and it was impossible to retreat. And all this was already understood.

[DPN]

They probably forgot in 1812 even surrendered Moscow, in 1941 it was still far from the Ural Mountains. At that time, the people were different and did not give up their symbols, and these are Leningrad, Stalingrad and then Moscow.
In 1991, Moscow thanked and ruined this country.

[Proxima]

Quote: Deniska

In my opinion, this should be decided by the residents of Volgograd.

Everything is clear with this city, it has immortalized itself and is known to the whole world as STALINGRAD.
But I, as a Petersburger, really want my city to be returned the name LENINGRAD. Well, it’s not beautiful when the second capital of our country has a German name, and so Leningrad is very correlated with the energy of the Russian language. The city of three revolutions, the last radically changed the course of world history. I won’t even stutter about the legendary defense of Leningrad .. but about Lenin, is he worthy of the city bearing his name - of course yes. Lenin is the quintessence of the great historical processes that took place then, and history must be honored!

Ulyanovsk was left in memory of Lenin. It is necessary to name the city in memory of Stalin

And the one who founded it and built it means it’s not worthy? And if the German name cuts the ear, so Petrograd is like a Russian. Well, the residents know better, but in my opinion, it is not fair.

You yourself answered your own question!

That is why they seek to forget about this humiliation! And someone else wonders why ??
By the way, recently they again talked about the Voronezh operation. Previously, almost nothing was said about her, although the event was very significant. If you look carefully, the desire of Europeans to forget this war becomes even more clear. Hungarian troops suffered the largest defeat in their history in this battle.

Here is a link to VO
https://topwar.ru/17711-maloizvestnye-stranicy-iz
-istorii-voyny-battle-za-voronezh.html
and something from there

The enemy lost up to 11 divisions (9 German and 2 Hungarian), almost all heavy weapons and equipment. The defeat of the Nazi troops near Voronezh during the Voronezh-Kastornen operation rightly allows us to speak of it as a major success of the Soviet troops in 1943.
Voronezh and our enemies, especially the Hungarians, remembered for a long time, they almost lost their entire most efficient army near Voronezh, and the German divisions 26, the Hungarian 2s (completely) and the Italian 8s, as well as the Romanian units were destroyed in the Voronezh area. . The number of prisoners was more than at Stalingrad, the total number of captured enemy soldiers taken in the area of ​​the Voronezh Front was about 75 000 soldiers and officers.

At the same time, according to various sources, the losses of the German troops and their allies amounted to 320 thousands of soldiers and officers. Our army has lost even more, in the battles on the Voronezh land about 400 000 Soviet soldiers were killed.

In vain you are trying to pick me up. By no means am I trying to belittle the feat of our fathers and grandfathers and to magnify the feat of the Hungarians.
My knowledge of Budapest is not connected with the Internet at all, but with books, archives and living people - participants and witnesses. A listing of all sources, plus data on troops, losses in manpower and equipment will take up too much space and time, and we are on the wrong site, and I’m reluctant to do this. It seems to me that you should take an interest in this issue yourself, it’s worth it. The battle for Budapest is in a special row. The second Stalingrad, this battle was primarily for us. And we, and the Romanians who took the city, had a very difficult time, to a greater extent because of the fierce resistance of the Hungarians and Germans, who stood to the end. Personally, I have the courage and resilience of the Hungarians to respect, unlike the same Romanians or Bulgarians. And the Hungarians have no holiday, because they lost. This we celebrate Victory Day in May, and recently celebrated the victory in the Battle of Stalingrad. For the Hungarians, as for our steadfast, convinced, but losing enemies, these are not holidays, but days of sorrow and sadness.

[Yuyuka]

In vain you are trying to pick me up. By no means am I trying to belittle the feat of our fathers and grandfathers and to magnify the feat of the Hungarians.

In no way wanted to offend It was just not quite clear for whom it was Stalingrad - for us or for the Hungarians.
As a child, he read "Stars of Eger" about the struggle of the Hungarians with the Turks, admired their stamina. But I can’t understand and justify their hatred of our citizens in the Second World War. Quite a lot of evidence of their atrocities, not in vain did they try not to capture them.
By the way, there are several articles and discussions on this topic at VO.

https://topwar.ru/120039-o-vengrah-kotoryh-pod-vo
ronezhem-ne-brali-v-plen.html

from there
Inherited the Hungarians great. To say that they were hated more than the Germans is not to say anything. The tale that General Vatutin (bow to him and eternal memory) gave the order “do not take Hungarians in captivity” is absolutely not a fairy tale, but a historical fact.

Therefore, I can’t respect them. If the Germans can somehow be "understood" - they had their own interest in the "eastern lands". But here are the Hungarians ?? Why should they turn into punitive? And why their resistance on the side of the Germans? If Italians and Romanians somehow turned against Hitler, then these remained to the end loyal to him.

[BABAY22]

Not renamed, but returned the historical name. And from which side is the blockade? By your crooked logic, all of you remember the revolution in Petrograd, so it means not Leningrad, but Petrograd.
And the inhabitants of St. Petersburg already answered this question in the 90th year - who likes the word Leningrad, call your city like that, even rename Moscow to Leningrad, even Dushanbe, and we will live in St. Petersburg.

[Reserve officer]

You just do not speak on behalf of all residents of our city. That referendum in Leningrad is generally a dark story. Here is what the entry on the 12 June 1991 ballot looked like: “Would you like to return to its city its original name - St. Petersburg”. It was required to leave one of the indicated answers - “Yes” or “No”, to delete the other. Here are just a mass of people, out of habit, indicated with the cross or “tick” the word “No,” which was regarded as crossing out. Those. it turned out that they voted for the word "Yes." Pure substitution of concepts.
It turned out that 54% of the citizens who participated in the referendum spoke for the renaming.
Later, Leningradskaya Pravda printed letters shocked by the results of a survey of supporters of preserving the name of the city Leningrad. An avalanche of letters- "To the depths of my soul I am indignant at the cunning wording of the referendum question, clearly designed to deceive the elderly who wanted to say" No "to the renaming of Leningrad."
Unlike the popular vote for the preservation of the Soviet Union, Lord Sobchak very quickly used the results of this referendum. But to Khazbulatov it was all deep down to the bulb.
My wife’s parents, blockades, still call their city Leningrad. My father, when he comes to visit me, he says - I am going to my son in Leningrad.

[BABAY22]

Do not Cry. And call our city with your family as you like. And I am not writing for everyone, but for myself and for those who besides me cast their vote for the return of the historical name.
And all your talk about fuzzy language has long been known. Can you read? What is unclear here: If you want a return - put YES, do not want to - NO. Everything was clear and understandable. You lost, there are more of us, and the city is called ST. PETERSBURG.

[Reserve officer]

That's how they put it, as you say. And it was necessary to cross out. Therefore, the label opposite “NO” by Mr. Sobchak and his commission was regarded as “YES”. This, indeed, was then very emotionally discussed by everyone. Moreover, in the same plane that a referendum on renaming a city of federal significance should be held throughout the country. By the way, Khazbulatov then said that these referendum results would not be taken into account. Lied.
By the way, then a variant of another text was considered in a referendum
"What should be called our city
Leningrad
St. Petersburg"
And here people had to put any badge. Everything is very clear. However, Mr. Sobchak did not like this. There was nothing to juggle.
What happened is what happened. Here you are right. But that's just how it happened - people should know.

[BABAY22]

What to cross out? Have you ever gone to the polls? They never cross out anything, they put any sign opposite the desired answer.
PsHA-HA-HA. I do remember. The truth seems to be writing that the residents of Dushanbe are outraged that they forgot to ask them how to name St. Petersburg :). Thank you reminded, made fun.

[Reserve officer]

I already told you twice what the substitution is, but you do not perceive.
For each of the three names of our city - St. Petersburg, Petrograd, Leningrad - a great story. You, for sure, remember that they were all pronounced. Along with the “Leningraders” one could hear “we are from St. Petersburg”. This did not hurt anyone; on the contrary, it aroused respect. And the city did not need to rename fraudulent services from Mr. Sobchak at all.
And his initiative is an insult to the memory of those who fell in blockade. Just such as he frowns on behalf of Lenin and Stalin.

[BABAY22]

What you said twice is not worth discussing, because this is complete nonsense. The fact that the cross in the field is NO, was considered as YES.
And once again I repeat, do not add a blockade here. And do not say that if the city were not called Leningrad, then it would certainly have been surrendered to the Nazis. There Moscow, Leningrad was not called, and did not give up. :)
Well, most people did not want their city to be named after Lenin, whose place in history is not perceived unambiguously.

The blockade, and all residents of the city by a majority vote decided:
ST. PETERSBURG!

I have never heard from the blockade that they called the city otherwise than Leningrad.
And to be honest, I’m even glad that the Hero City of Leningrad isn’t overwhelmed by the machinations of the Sobchaks, his portfolio and other camarillas. All this will remain on the other signboard, which has already been robbed above the roof, the same rotten intelligentsia, led by the newly-conceived Pyatrovsky, arranging covens in the Hermitage! Here it is the face of the current name. I ask you not to delete the photo, let everyone look at what individual personalities have gone down to

And we will rename the city on the Neva, give the term.

Well, what is the manner behind the Veterans' backsliding? They told you, as a people, incl. the blockade decided to call their city. What is not clear? And give up this loser style to threaten -Give the deadline ... we all roll back ...
I will not give you a term, they wrote off Leninism to the dustbin of history, they wrote off it in 3 days, and no ordinary people came out to defend it. Tired of everyone listening: Run soon, they threw it out in the Central Sausage, take the line soon ...

Quote: BABAY22

And the residents of St. Petersburg have already answered everyone this question in the 90th year -

In 1991 These were my first elections (turned 18), so I remember very well. In, I didn’t think that after almost 30 years there will be reflections and disputes. On a nearby branch I already recalled the couplets of the Soviet era:
This name is like thunder roll
Petersburg-Petrograd-Leningrad!
And with each name of our city milestones of great history are connected, and even what! There is more than one state typed. Everything or almost everything is said about the undeniable greatness of both St. Petersburg and Leningrad. Yes, the city bore the name Petrograd for the shortest time, about ten years. But over these ten years, events have occurred in it, without exaggeration, that have changed the world. By the way, the same Petrograd Side was called the Petersburg Side until 1914, but I would like to look at those who try to rename it. And again, the official name of the city in no way excludes the use of the other two. Even within the same area. Going to the neighboring Chekistov street, I see Count Vorontsov’s luxurious estate “Novoznamenka”, going down through the park to the Peterhof highway, I get to the place of the heroic death of the 124th TBR and the PishMashevsky landing in October 1941, and here are the tram line rails , the heiress of the Petrograd Oranela (opened in 1915). That is, literally, the city itself decides when and how to call it. Alexander will not break off on the passport if he is called Sasha or Sanya. Therefore, it seems, it makes no sense to break spears how much in vain. I hope I was convincing. With respect to fellow countrymen.

[Reserve officer]

Greetings, Alexander. By the way, I also live in the South-West. On Marshal Zhukov. Not far from your places.
Actually, I wrote about the same thing above. During my lifetime, our city (I am 57 years old) has always been called Petersburg, and Petrograd, and Leningrad. We were Leningraders, introduced ourselves as “we are from St. Petersburg” - it was the same thing. Here we are talking a little about something else. Sobchak, with all his manual statistics, counted only 65% of the appearance at the referendum 54% of those who voted against the name of the city of Leningrad. Total 35% of the total population of the city. In fact, not enough for such a cardinal decision. Moreover, the same Khazbulatov stated that this vote has no legal force. Nevertheless, Sobchak used these results for official renaming.
For information - 76% of the total population of the country (if memory serves) voted for the preservation of the USSR, but for some reason this was not taken into account. This, incidentally, is the answer to some here, who claimed that no one stood up for the Union and that socialism was all the same to everyone. Liberal lie!
I have since left the impression that Sobchak simply needed an extras supporting his decision. For which he completely cynically used the population of the city. He was pulled with Lenin in Moscow, given hand in hand, they were not allowed to take him out of the Mausoleum. Even with the support of Yeltsin, he did not succeed there. So he sold his own here. Removed the name of Lenin from the name of the city.
Our city deserves to be called all these names. And all these names are equally close to me. And as you rightly pointed out, in our city history is very closely intertwined - from noble mansions to revolutionary street names, from monuments of the times of the Russian Empire to bunkers in the streets that used to be at the forefront of defense. And it harmonizes perfectly perfectly.
That's just to defame polls is unacceptable. And to give 35% to the majority of the population of the city is low. Not in the traditions of a great city.

Incidentally, I also live in the South-West. On Marshal Zhukov. Not far from your places.

Good nights. So all life in the center has passed, only "in old age" got out of the communal apartment (by the way, with the help of the resettlement program, including), "in the open air". Of course, immediately began to actively comprehend all the historical moments associated with the area of ​​residence. How else?

Quote: Reserve officer

It's just that it is unacceptable to defame polls. Not in the traditions of a great city

Damn it, this is unacceptable in any case. It’s another matter that back then, as a young man (I repeat, this was my first election), it seemed like he was a “voice of the people”, yeah. It was, for a minute, a referendum. As for defamation, there is a different, more severe one for every defamation. And if there was a "wiring" (and oh, such things as you shouldn't play), then the triumph of justice (at least personally) did not delay. What did we get five years later (in 1996) in the mayoral election? And what happened next? Persecution, heart attack and logical conclusion. And all this in the shortest, by historical standards, terms. It turns out, it fell back - responded.

[Reserve officer]

Namely, Alexander. Moreover, on the tombstone of this figure at the Nikolsky cemetery in the Lavra, an epitaph appears - "To the Mayor who restored the city to its historical name." Or something similar in this vein, I can not vouch for the literal reproduction. It turns out that there is simply no other merit. In addition to this scandalous muddy referendum. Indeed, everyone will be rewarded according to their deserts.
Namely - a logical conclusion. You wrote correctly.

[BABAY22]

So here I am about it!
Good day.
The question is closed almost 30 years ago. Everything is quiet, peaceful and calm. So no, someone on the branch about Stalingrad-Volgograd needs to rename St. Petersburg again. In short, revive socialism, everything in people is black and white. Yes, let’s better elect Putin to be the king and we will live under the monarchy (since nothing good has happened with democracy) than again to the communist paradise when the TV says one thing and the refrigerator is completely opposite.

(Which, incidentally, was not forgotten during Soviet times) And Leningrad is an ersatz of the Bolshevik "pseudo ideology", which means pseudo history.

But our radicals want radically. In general, the same thing, and different courts rendered different verdicts.

And what is Tsaritsyn?
The whole world, who is little bit familiar with the history of WW2, knows the Battle of Stalingrad and the city of Stalingrad. In Germany, they remember this especially! But, no one knows any Volgograd, a faceless name from the river of the same name, as if they could not come up with anything else, in 1961, when the city was renamed, the entrance of Khrushchev’s struggle with Stalinism.
From time immemorial, it was believed that the best name for the city is from an epoch-making event that happened there, and of course from heroic battles. Let us not belittle the history of the Soviet city, we will return to it its glorious name, so that it bears it rightfully.

[kapitan92]

Quote: Stas157

And what is Tsaritsyn?

As the city was called before and what is the history of each of its names, not everyone knows. Those who are not strong in history are convinced that Tsaritsyn was named in honor of Empress Catherine the Great. This is a false assumption, although it was to her that he owed the transformation from a narrow-war settlement into a rapidly developing city. And the name arose thanks to the small river Tsaritsa, from which only a few springs remained. But five centuries ago, the channel of the river was full, and it quite rapidly carried its clay waters to the Volga. For its color, the Mongol-Tatars began to call the river Sary-Su, which means "yellow water." Later this name began to be perceived as the Queen, hence the first name of the city. The earliest mentions of the Tsaritsyn fortress date back to 1589, so since then this date has been considered official, and it is from it that Volgograd has its history.
In 1925, the city of Tsaritsyn changed its name to Stalingrad. Of course, this renaming is connected with I.V. Stalin, who since 1922 was the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party.
Since 1961 Volgograd.
What a brief history of the glorious city of Tsaritsyn!

It's time to do it. Previously, it was called Tsaritsin and passes in all documents of the XVII-XXI centuries. And what about Stalingrad? This is the same as Leningrad. Though it was smart enough to return the former name of St. Petersburg. And in general, all cities need to return the previous names, otherwise the more people the Bolshevik leader killed and poured human blood, the city is renamed to him. If they want to legitimize the name of the next leader, then we have plenty, for example, of projected streets or nameless alleys. Forward, the field is not plowed.

Volgograd the name is neutral, the city on the Volga, no more than that, Tsaritsyn was under the tsar but vanished into the past, the heroic and victorious Stalingrad was and remains in the memory, but why change the current name of the city? you need to know and respect the history of the state and accept this history as it was, and not change it for elections, birthdays of government officials, or the death of them, otherwise we will go along the path of our neighbors, unfortunately I can’t name them otherwise, but it's just a crime against our descendants to rewrite and interpret history as someone needs.

[Mavrikiy]

1. what for? Volgograd neutral name -liberal.
2. a city on the Volga, nothing more This is nothing more for the liberals, but for the people the Hero City, the city of Glory, the city of the Feat of the People. Battle of Stalingrad in Volgograd. Ostrich, take your head out of the sand, the truth needs to be looked into the eyes, otherwise trouble can happen.
3. the heroic and victorious Stalingrad was and remains in memory, but why change the current name of the city? you need to know and respect the history of the state but this is blah blah. You do not have this in your memory, neither history, nor respect ..
4. and it’s just a crime before our descendants to rewrite and interpret history as someone needs it. So it is necessary to return to the people the history, the name of Stalingrad, and not Khrushchev with the Yeltsintsentr.

[Belarus is Russia]

Vladimir Zhirinovsky proposed to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad

Zhirinovsky-here I don’t support you. Enough to rename something. They called it that-all-let it remain so.
It has long been clear and understandable, since ancient times, even when the fortresses were taken by storm. As soon as the fortress was captured, they hung out their banner and coat of arms. From far away you can see whose fortress is under whose banner and whose coat of arms. Look at the United States, from birth, one and the same flag and coat of arms doesn’t change, and that’s right. Of this logic, the USA is the oldest. Although they are 200 years old. Others, how many flags and emblems have already changed, logically, have become different ????? The state, there are as many as its symbols, a flag and a coat of arms. Enough to jut over Russia Russian Orthodox Christian, Russian Orthodox Christians. Change flags, emblems and names of cities and villages.
The flag of Russia (State flag of the Russian Federation) is its official state symbol, along with the coat of arms and anthem. It is a rectangular panel of three equal horizontal stripes: the top - white, middle - blue and bottom - red. The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 2: 3 [4].
Responsibility for the abuse of the flag of Russia
Abuse of the State Flag of the Russian Federation is a crime. Abuse can be expressed in the commission of persons who have reached 16 years of age, a wide variety of active public actions, indicating disrespectful attitude to the flag, for example, in its destruction, damage, cynical drawings or inscriptions.

According to Article 329 of the Criminal Code of Russia “Violation of the State Emblem of the Russian Federation or the State Flag of the Russian Federation” [180], it is punishable by restriction of liberty for a term of up to two years, or arrest for a term of from three to six months, or by imprisonment for a term of up to one of the year. Conditional punishment is common in practice [181] [182].
The meaning of the colors of the flag
Many symbolic meanings are attributed to the colors of the Russian flag, but there is no official interpretation of the colors of the State Flag of the Russian Federation. The most popular decryption is as follows [189]:

White color symbolizes nobility and frankness;
Blue color - fidelity, honesty, impeccability and chastity;
The red color is courage, courage, generosity and love.
Another common interpretation was the correlation of flag colors with the historical regions of the Russian Empire: White (white), Lesser (blue) and Great Russia (red) [190]. This explanation came from the full title of tsars and emperors of Russia: “All Great, and Malyia and White Russia”, symbolizing the unity of the Great Russians, Little Russians and Belarusians. In addition, in pre-revolutionary times, there were various interpretations of the meanings of these colors, for example:

white is the color of freedom;
blue is the color of the Virgin;
red color is a symbol of sovereignty.
From the point of view of heraldists, all such transcripts are optional, poetical and lyrical [191].
So, with all due respect to you, Vladimir Zhirinovsky-HERE I DO NOT SUPPORT YOU !!!
Volgograd is Volgograd! How Russia is Russia Russian Orthodox Christian, as its Russian flag-tricolor and coat of arms- The state emblem of the Russian Federation is a quadrangular, with rounded lower corners, a red heraldic shield with a golden double-headed eagle, which has spread its wings, pointed at the tip. The eagle is crowned with two small crowns and - above them - one large crown connected by a ribbon. In the right paw of the eagle is the scepter, in the left - the power. On the eagle’s chest, in a red shield, is a silver horseman in a blue cloak on a silver horse, striking with a silver spear a black, overturned backward and trampled by a dragon horse [2].!
A country, a state, lives as many as its symbols. Changed the flag symbols and the emblem is another country. Similarly, the city. Zhirinovsky, do not change the name of Volgograd.
Cut it short, Volfovich is better off paying salaries to deputies and let this money go to houses for families with children and to workers and the army. And you better turn Yeltsin into a museum of traitors and enemies who betrayed Russian Orthodox Christian Russia. So that you knew the traitors of these and enemies .

[Belarus is Russia]

Actually, it infuriates me that everything changes and is renamed. Damn what. From head to toe, I can’t say otherwise. I don’t know what else to say. I expressed my opinion.

The city needs to return either the historical name Tsaritsyn or give it the name under which it entered the history of the world - that is, Stalingrad. Of course, in no case can you connect the return of the name with Stalin himself, but it so happened that it was under that name that the city became known to the world.

Neither Volgograd, nor Tsaritsyn, but Stalingrad became a symbol of Russian courage, willpower, power, patriotism, invincibility. And today, with all our attitude towards Stalin himself, we need to meet the citizens who would like to restore, to perpetuate the memory of the heroism of their dead ancestors.

And Zhirinovsky is right. And-garbage guys it turns out if everything changes like that. This is a clowning from the country.
Actually, what the hell did they change the name of Stalingrad?
I now perceive all these name changes — like, for example, change our Minsk name to some crap. Or your Moscow.
Well, how can I change the names and symbols ??? It already turns out to other cities and another country. Damn. Some kind of crap. For example, call Russian Orthodox Christian Christian in a different way and show it under a different cloth instead of the Russian tricolor and under the coat of arms of another. To make it clearer for you.

In Paris, many people know about Stalingrad and almost no one knows about Volgograd, by the way in Paris there is the Battle of Stalingrad Square, the metro station Stalingrad, Stalingrad Avenue.

When I see the VVZh and hear about Stalingrad Volgograd, the elections are coming soon. Either you need to switch your attention. Since Ukraine is now successfully doing this, that means elections.
Back in 2013, City Duma deputies decided to return the city to its historical name, but only for 9 days a year. At the same time, the name Stalingrad does not appear in documents, but on these agreed dates it can be safely used in speeches, at public events, as well as in the media.
Recall that Volgograd is called Stalingrad nine times a year on holidays:
Day of Military Glory - February 2
Defender of the Fatherland Day - February 23
The day the city is awarded the title of hero - May 8
Victory Day - May 9
Day of Remembrance and Sorrow - June 22 (we also call it)
Memorial Day for the victims of the bombing of Stalingrad - August 23
World War II End Day - September 2
The day the defeat of fascist troops near Stalingrad began - November 19
2015

The State Duma rejected a draft resolution on the return of the historical name Stalingrad to Volgograd, TASS reports.
The document was submitted to parliament by the Communist Party faction on February 12. The Communists also proposed renaming one of the central squares or streets of Moscow in honor of Joseph Stalin and erecting a monument to Generalissimo there.
“The right to initiate renaming belongs exclusively to the Volgograd Regional Duma. Renaming the street and erecting a monument in Moscow is the competence of the Moscow authorities, ”said Viktor Kazakov, deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on federal structure and issues of local self-government.

Renaming a city that is not only all over the world, but even in England is considered a symbol of the greatest victory over the Nazi military machine, this can only be explained by sabotage. Even in Paris there is the Stalingrad square.
When the commander of the Volgograd fighter regiment reported to the former commander of the Stalingrad fighter regiment in 1983, the WWII veteran stopped him with the words: “I don’t know such a regiment. I commanded a regiment that bore the honorary name“ Stalingrad ”.
So not everyone lost their memory.

A simple comparison shows: "Volgograd battle"? - Nonsense! "Battle of Stalingrad" - Corresponds to reality. No matter how anyone would like this name. It turns out, Wolfovich - Right!

But what about one of the most important battles of our Civil War - the battle of Tsaritsyn ....
It may still be better for everyone to return the historic first name of the city

[Stas157]

The battles in the Civil War do not color the nation, just like family fights and stabbings.

You have renamed more than a hundred streets in Uzbekistan, namely in Tashkent, for example, decided also to rename the street Shoahmed Shamakhmudov - a blacksmith who adopted 14 orphaned children of different nationalities during the years of World War II. Now it will be called Toshkucha.

So leave your recommendations to your authorities.

[Old military officer]

Let the clown, let the election populism, but the city needs to return his glorious name - Stalingrad. It was under this name that he defended his honor and achieved a turning point in the war. Give Stalingrad! Mr. President, this costs a lot more than the wall of sorrow for no one knows for no one, and it is incomparable with anything.

[Wolka]

Wolfovich! but this is Tsaritsyn ...

If Putin returns the name of Stalingrad to Volgograd, his popularity will jump even more!

they already got something to rename with these sentences. I used to live on Kemerovskaya Street, no bureaucrats caught fire to call her “internationalist warriors." I have nothing against the guys who were in Afghanistan. Try to write it, or say it quickly. children. teach your child to remember this name.

[RUSS]

Now the authorities are consolidating society, therefore they will not rename Volgograd, they will give the maximum name to the airport in Volgograd as they previously wanted. Let’s say Volgograd is a neutral and politically correct name, the golden mean for those who want to return the name Stalingrad or Tsaritsyn. Putin has repeatedly been asked to return the name Stalingrad, but he is thankfully against God.

[Olddetractor]

Alternative option: determine the amount of money needed to rename the city and arrange all the money in it for roads. Otherwise, in a couple of years it will be possible to rename only Tsaritsyn.

[serg.shishkov2015]

a rare case when I agree with him! In the world this city is known by this name! And to us hesitate to please the West means to betray the memory of the dead!

"Bagration" (in my humble opinion, by the totality of its characteristics - the MOST OUTSTANDING OFFENSIVE OPERATION in the whole world history

I agree. Poor soldiers, as they got tired, passing 50 - 70 km on the offensive every day. The losses of the Germans were, I think, 1 in 10 in favor of the Soviet army.

And the inhabitants of St. Petersburg already answered this question in the 90th year - who likes the word Leningrad, call your city like that, even rename Moscow to Leningrad, even Dushanbe, and we will live in St. Petersburg.

I only introduce myself as St. Petersburg when asked where I come from :).

It would be better if this uncle suggested changing the article of the constitution about the bowels ..

[Sands Careers General]

I am for Stalingrad.

[earloop]

Regarding the renaming of the names of the cities of Tsaritsyn, Volgograd, Stalingrad. Of the three names, I choose “Stalingrad” because I personally knew the few surviving, modest participants in the defense of Stalingrad, who, without “sparing their bellies,” abundantly watered the battlefields for this city with their blood. Visiting the now memorial sites of the city’s defense, nature itself, as a real witness to the heroic defense of the city, generates in the mind only one of its listed names, nurtured on human blood: Stalingrad! Although the names: Tsaritsyn, Volgograd, are also not bad. Therefore, I once again agree with Vladimir Volfovich, who has a very keen perception of all the features and subtleties of the historical situation of events of long ago.

[xBoris]

Yeah, .. take Lenin out .. And Volgograd into Stalingrad ..?
Although what I mean, in my opinion, everyone understands that this .. Doer, that’s right, the Doer is not responsible for his words. Populism of the purest water.

As for example, Russian Orthodox Christian Russia call differently

Russia changed its name several times, and the name "Russian Orthodox Church" received only in the 20th century in 1943, and before that it was called the "Orthodox Russian Church".
