Living in Volgograd

Volgograd is located in the center of Volgograd Oblast in Russia, and is known as "The Former Stalingrad". In fact, this former name is still used for Volgograd on nine specific days of the year. The city has an important history, particularly during World War II, and there are many sights which document this history. Expats living in Volgograd will be able to visit these places which include Mamayev Kurgan, the site of one of the most important battles during the war, and Panorama Museum which features many artifacts from the time. The city also has plenty to offer in terms of culture, and expatriates living in Volgograd will be able to enjoy the local music and arts scene and explore its many bars and restaurants. Football and handball are some of the most popular sports in Volgograd, with teams competing in Russia’s professional leagues.
