In 1925 it was renamed Stalingrad after Josef Stalin successfully defended it in 1918 during the Russian civil war (or revolution) In 1961 , after Stalin had fallen from grace, it was renamed again, this time as Volgograd after the river which flows through the city. It still has that name.
Stalingrad was a city on the Volga River in Russia at the sharp bend where it flows not southerly but easterly and on into the Caspian Sea. After the death of Stalin, the name was changed to Volvograd. During the Russian Empire, its name was Tsaritsyn.
