Where: Volgograd | Russia

What: Volgograd, previously knowns as Stalingrad, is a heroic Soviet city that really needs no introduction: it was here, amid bombed out buildings and corpse-filled streets, that the spiralling course of WWII, aka the Great Patriotic War, was eventually changed for good. Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring once famously said: a thousand years hence, every German will speak with awe of Stalingrad and remember that it was there that Germany put the seal on her victory; well, history proved him wrong as he didn’t reckon with the indomitable spirit of the Soviet people, who stalwartly and relentlessly fought for every single inch of their glorious motherland.

Who: Mikhail, a true son of Stalingrad, guide, translator and history-geek, loves his hometown more than everything else.
