Volgograd, formerly Tsaritsyn, 1589–1925, and Stalingrad, 1925–1961, is an industrial city and the administrative centre of Volgograd Oblast, Russia. The city lies on the western bank of the Volga River.
The Battle of Stalingrad in World War II was one of the largest and bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. Known locally as the «Hero City», it is home to The Motherland Calls, an 85 meter statue dedicated to the heroes of the battle. The city also has many tourist attractions, such as museums, sandy beaches, and a self-propelled floating church. Its population was 1,021,215 at the 2010 Census, growing from 1,011,417 in the 2002 Census.
