A majority of Russians support restoring the name of the country’s twelfth-largest city back to ‘Stalingrad,’ 60 years after it was renamed Volgograd in the Soviet program of de-Stalinization, a controversial poll has revealed.
The survey, commissioned by the center-left political party ‘A Fair Russia’ and made public on Thursday, revealed that 68% of Russians are in favor of returning to the title it bore from 1925 to 1961, with just 28% wanting to keep the current name.

WNU Editor: This is what happens when the young in Russia are not educated on how much of a homicidal maniac Stalin really was. Those who lived during the Stalin era and their children who were taught by their parents on how much of a vicious tyrant Stalin was are overwhelmingly against changing this name. Those who are 40 or younger want the city's name to be changed. I definitely see this generational split that among my own family in Russia.
In the Battle for Berlin Russians killed Russians on purpose. More Russians were killed by Russians than Germans killed Russians.

600,0000
For a country that no longer has production lines, oil, logistics etc holding out in one city albeit a large one, to have 600,000 people die taking it is atrocious.

Konev to Zhukov
"On 28 April, the 8th Army Commander Chuikov ordered his artillery to shell Anhalt Railway Station. General Vladimir Antonov was one of the few Russians to survive the bombardment.
"Chuikov (affectionately known as Chewie) then ordered his forces to attack these positions, which were occupied by the remaining1stt Ukrianian troops without telling his men who were opposing them."

Who do we know who was in artillery?
Just following orders.
Stalin set the whole thing up. He did it exactly like Mao would have have. Mao often agree to attack large concentrations of Japanese troops in concert with other Communist generals. then the in concert part would be immediately thrown out the window. Mao would not come or would come late. Mao was the last general standing for some odd reason.
I hold Zhukov nor more responsible than Demjanjuk.
Well, there not only in Russia that people forget the past in America and Europe it is the same thing.
