Tsaritsyn- Stalingrad- Volgograd- and Stalingrad?

From the June 8, 2014, Guardian "Stalingrad name may return to city in wave of Second World War patriotism" by Alec Luhn.

The city, one of Russia's largest with over a million people,  was known as Tsaritsyn for 300 years before getting the name Stalingrad for Soviet leader Josef Stalin for 26 years and then having its name changed to Volgograd by Nikita Krushchev as in his efforts to de-Stalinize the Soviet Union.

But, it was the 26 years as Stalingrad that brought it the most fame because of the huge battle that took place there and ended Hitler's efforts to take over the country.  An estimated 2 million casualties took place on both sides.

Russian president Vladimir Putin supports the name change back to Stalingrad.
