The Battle of Stalingrad, which is the former name of Volgograd, was one of the longest battles during World War II (WWII), fought from August 1942 to February 1943. It radically changed the course of the war, heralding the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945.

More than 60,000 people joined a concert titled "Russia in My Heart" in central Moscow and similar rallies were held in other cities across the country to commemorate those who died in WWII.
