Volga River
The city once called Stalingrad was originally called Tsaritsin (from 1598 until 1925). 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.

The main river is the St.John's river which is one of two rivers in the world that flows north.
Yongding, Chaobai and Wenyu No major river flows through the city itself. Over the centuries, the builders of Beijing have managed to steer the rivers around the city. The Imperial Canal does however enter the city.
Stalingrad was renamed to Volgograd in 1961. I do not think that there is a forest in close proximity to Volgograd the city, but there are natural parks, which I imagine to be forests, in the Volgograd Region.
