Russian President Vladimir Putin has again granted Wolgograd Airport as an extra name of the city: Stalingrad. To have the victory of the Soviet people remembered in the Second World War, the decree said that Putin signed after a visit to Volgograd.
Russia is preparing for big parties for the 80th anniversary of the end of the war in 1945. Together with De Wit -Russian ruler Lukaschenko, Putin in Volgograd, reminded the Battle of Stalingrad against the German Wehrmacht and Allied units in the winter of 1942/43.
Alleged request of war veterans
The reconstruction of the airport was a request from veterans from the Second World War and of participants in the war to Ukraine, said Governor Andrej Botcharov. “Their word is the law for me. We will do it that way,” said Putin of the Russian news agency Tass of the State.
The big city on the Volga was renamed Wolgograd in 1961 to repay the name of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin (1878-1953). However, under the authoritarian rule of Putin, Stalin is increasingly rehabilitated. He also gets monuments again.
