Stalingrad, an industrial city located on the western bank of the lower Volga River in Russia, earned great fame during World War II as the site of the 1942/43 battle between German and Soviet troops which resulted in a decisive Soviet victory. In 1961, the city was renamed Volgograd, and this name still stands; however, 2013, the decision was made to return the name of the city to "Stalingrad" at honorary occasions during each year, with the possibility of returning to the older name permanently.
