Vladimir Putin laid flowers on Mamayev Kurgan

The President of Russia arrived in Volgograd, where solemn events are held today, timed to coincide with the 75 anniversary of the defeat of the Hitler army in the Battle of Stalingrad. Vladimir Putin, after arriving in the city on the Volga, went to the historical-museum complex "Battle of Stalingrad" on Mamayev Kurgan.

The head of state laid a wreath at the Hall of Military Glory, as well as flowers to the resting place of Marshal V.I. Chuykov.

Dear friends, dear veterans! 75 years ago here, on the banks of the Volga, the legendary Stalingrad victory was won. Congratulations on this holiday. The triumph of the Soviet army ended the battle that went into history humanity as the most violent and bloody. Here the indomitable nature of our people is fully manifested. We must be equal in our actions to the accomplishments of fathers and grandfathers, to achieve more than we have already achieved and achieved. Based on this foundation, we will only go forward!

I want to add. You are wrong about the populist. Although I am very negative about the current government, I dare say that any normal person would do that. I came and paid homage to the heroes of Stalingrad. It's another matter that you don’t need to turn this into an election show.

[Alena Frolovna]

A deep bow to all the inhabitants of military Stalingrad and his defenders!
To everyone who died. To everyone who survived. To everyone who restored the city from ruins.
We remember…

Last soldier

One day you wake up at dawn
From the extraordinary silence
And suddenly you realize: no in this world
The last veterans of that war.

She’s still coming ... Already without a title,
Victories and defeats, without rewards:
For gratitude from the memories
Alive - about not returning back.

They say to me: - the pages are not closed,
While the graves are waiting for their children;
And I am - the same one, not buried,
Not yet buried soldier

The day will come - and to me at the head
Of those who used to have a good sleep,
For this life paid in blood
A death guard will put death.

The thunder of the farewell fire will subside
As an echo of the country's past troubles,
And the people of the world startle for some reason
From the silence that followed ...


Well, for now (before the deadline is not forgotten) -
There is a war, and I'm not to blame:
Remaining last - not buried,
Raw land is not a loyal soldier.
Nikolay Manatskov

Here are the fir trees .... And then I managed to discern the pre-election PR and the populism of GDP. And the grandfathers did not know that having won near Stalingrad they were either hastened, or were late with a victory, since her 75th birthday fell on the pre-election period of 2018. You will transfer it somewhere else on February 23 and March 8 to August-September, otherwise the president suddenly decides to PR before the elections and congratulates the defenders of the Fatherland and women.

If you didn’t know, then I’m writing to you that he the president and it’s his holy duty to honor (remember) history and heroes and pay tribute to them! You may not know, but I think that our youth do not even know what day it is! And at least look, but take an interest, What kind of battle of Stalingrad was this?

[Vitaly Anisimov]

But Stalingrad it was a turning point .. How many soldiers were killed there, but there was nowhere to retreat! Hopefully over time this city will be renamed to STALINGRAD!
Nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten..
The line of defense of Leningrad-Moscow-Stalingrad..Russian on this line of defense rested to death and broke the ridge of virtually the whole of Europe who fought on the side of Germany! Eternal memory to all of you, we will not disgrace you, and we will also stand .. (it is also very difficult for us, help us grandfathers and great-grandfathers ..)

what you do not offer to rename Peter in Leningrad? clung to Volgograd

[Reserve officer]

Sometimes such sentences sound. Especially when you consider that 1991% took part in the referendum in 65 on the name of the city. 54% voted for the renaming. Total - 35% of residents determined what the name of the city would be. And not the majority, as Sobchak liked to blow. And the results of this referendum were adopted legally, contrary to the statement of Khazbulatov.

[_Jack_]

national Russian amusement - to rename cities now and then, then back as before, as if something will change from this, there’s nothing more to do?

[Reserve officer]

By and large, you are right. But in relation to Stalingrad and Leningrad, everything is more complicated. Just insignificance in the leadership of the country is like a fire afraid of the names of Lenin and Stalin. One insignificance - Khrushchev - renamed Stalingrad. Another, a lower rank - Sobchak - organized a very dubious referendum, which he needed, like an extras in favor of renaming the city. Moreover, with all its manual statistics and muddy wording of the referendum, it pulled only 54%.
But in the end, one and the other simply spit in the face of the people, blackening the memory of the fallen in the Great Patriotic War.

[_Jack_]

in the end it will never end, now we will rename it back, after xx years very convincing arguments will appear again, you just need to stop and not engage in nonsense, but direct your energy to something really needed

[Reserve officer]

Yes I agree. Recover stolen memory. Restore the characters of the heroic deed. And stop at a leapfrog renaming. The names of the cities should not become an aid to the insignificants, eager for power.

[_Ugene_]

Speak for renaming the city in which you live, and let Volgograd residents decide with Volgograd

[Reserve officer]

Formally, you are right. Only if the initiative goes from high political circles, will Volgograd residents be asked last. They organize something like a referendum with a known result.
Khrushchev, when he erased the name of Stalingrad from the map of the country, was also little interested in the opinion of the inhabitants.

They really broke the SPIRIT to the Germans. They made them understand that they won’t have a victory. And this is a turning point in the war!

Quote: Gardamir

On January 31, representatives of the Left Front held a picket of the Central Election Commission, demanding to send incumbent President Vladimir Putin on vacation for the duration of the election campaign. Participants in the rally took turns standing at the Central Executive Committee building with the banner "Pamfilova, send Putin on vacation!" The police copied the passport data of the picketers, but did not begin to detain anyone. After the pickets, the Left Front activists handed over to the CEC reception room an official appeal addressed to Ella Pamfilova, which specifically states:
“We note that at present, in all news programs on state television channels and in other media, a significant part of the time is occupied by stories about various events with the participation of V.V. Putin. At the same time, these events are not covered as campaigning, but as the working activities of the current president of the Russian Federation. Against this background, very little airtime is allocated to other presidential candidates, which is not comparable to V.V. Putin. Thus, the principle of equality is grossly violated when covering the activities of candidates for the presidency of the Russian Federation, which is unacceptable. Based on the foregoing, we require:
- comply with the requirements of Federal Law No. 19-FZ “On the Election of the President of the Russian Federation” and ensure that V.V. Putin during his participation in the election of the President of the Russian Federation was released from the performance of official or official duties (went on vacation);
“To ensure equal access for all candidates for the presidency of the Russian Federation to the air of state television channels and other media.”
The Left Front intends to continue to push for the implementation of the stated requirements through various promotions and events

Return the NAME to the city !!! The Battle of Stalingrad sounds strange, but there is no such city, however, like the Hero-city of Leningrad.

[Paranoid50]

Quote: silver2018

however, like the Hero City of Leningrad.

And here it is not necessary. Was, is and will be. Yes, the official name of the city of St. Petersburg, received at birth. But this does not prevent us from using, even in communication, on a par with him, another name, especially since the title Hero-City was given to Leningrad. And on the 18th and 27th of January, like on other days memorable for the city, we often hear the name Leningrad. By the way, in Soviet times (I remember very well from childhood) in everyday life, one could quite often hear including and Petrograd. Yes, and then enough people remained alive, who still remembered the pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg. And I remember the couplet:
This name is like thunder roll
Petersburg-Petrograd-Leningrad!
Yes, and regardless of the name, our city, like Volgograd-Stalingrad, remains a city with a great history.

[Greenwood]

Quote: Paranoid50

Well, if only the old generation still uses this name. For a long time already everyone got used to the name St. Petersburg and is called in abbreviated form Peter.

[APASUS]

Do not forget, it always ends badly!

[armourer]

My opinion is this, I think with honor you need to rename the city of Volgograd, the city of Stalingrad. This must not be forgotten. Here the fate of our whole country was decided

[cayman gene]

I also want to go to Stalingrad, see the memorial, lay flowers on the grave of Vasily Chuikov. Tell me guys, travel agencies, and so that a Russian citizen doesn’t have a foreign passport, and I don’t plan to receive it.

[seregatara1969]

so get on the train and go! Volgograd is waiting for you! On the Victory Day, even Uzbeks and Tajiks bring their children to the mum’s mound to put flowers at the feet of their motherland

Is there anyone from the Maloarkhangelsky district, village of Protasovo?

Important: determine the burial place and projection on the modern administrative division. I had to pick up even German maps of those years for the search - the village simply ceased to exist, and the district was transferred from one region to another 3 times

Haha travel agencies. On booking.com, I booked a hotel room or wrote off a thread on the site of couch-surfers, whoever sheltered you for free, bought a plane ticket and go. It’ll be cheaper and you don’t have to run anywhere for a guide.
