Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Volgograd, Southern District
Known as Stalingrad during much of the Soviet era, Volgograd is now an important industrial city of just over a million people. During World War II, the hill of Mamayev Kurgan was one of the bloodiest locales of the Battle of Stalingrad (the deadliest battle in history, claiming a million and a half lives), and is now the site of a memorial complex. The Panorama Museum, named for the massive Battle of Stalingrad panoramic painting it houses, is another of the city’s most popular attractions.

With all the "western" hostility against Russia, a visit to war cemeteries, be in Volgograd, the former Stalingrad, or in St Petersburg, would be well advised: to recall that the West (Germany) murdered 27 million Russians during WW II and that Russian antagonism against an ever expanding (and conquering) NATO and US and EU instigated "regime change" in Ukraine is based on merits and historical facts.

More than four million combatants fought in the gargantuan struggle at Stalingrad between the Nazi and Soviet armies. Almost half – over 1.8 million people – became casualties. More Soviet soldiers died in this five-month contest than Americans died in the entire war This monument commemorates their sacrifice. It is beautifully done and is a solemn reminder of lives lost.

I actually ran into to a couple of those shift-changes (attended by high-school teen soldiers) when I visited on the same day in OCT 2019. From the monument, one can actually walk down and reach the embankment area, which is very pleasant to stroll around.
