[REGNUM] On November 30, the Duma of the Volgograd Region adopted a law that determined the exact order in which the names of villages and cities in the region, including the regional capital, should be changed . Which, as you know, was renamed three times: Tsaritsyn, Stalingrad, Volgograd. The local news received a nationwide response. And it was Volgograd-Stalingrad, which is logical, that the authors of numerous comments immediately remembered. “Some wrote that the Volgograd Regional Duma is renaming Volgograd to Stalingrad, others - that we are announcing a referendum on the renaming,” noted regional Duma speaker Alexander Bloshkin.
