The excursion is actually to expose us with the three different period of Volgograd which are from Tsaritsyn, then to Stalingrad and the latest one is Volgograd. He tried to show us the meaning of all this by showing us the building that came from different period and for that we had to walk around the center of the city.
Tsaritstyn
Volgograd originated with the foundation in 1589 of the fortress of Tsaritsyn at the confluence of the Tsaritsa and Volga rivers. The fortress, which took its name from the local name Sary Su (Yellow Water\River in Tatar language), was established to defend the unstable southern border of tsarist Russia and became the nucleus of a trading settlement.
This was suppose to be the site where the river of Tsaritsyn was, now it flows below the ground in a huge tube. If we see at the end of this river, there still are the Yellow small island where the Tsaritsyn got its name.
These are some of the building from that period which still exist up till now. We can say that they have thier own unique design of building which combine the west and the east architecture and one thing for sure red is the main colour.
This building was suppose to be the fire department in that time. That explain why they have tower but now its function is different.
Stalingrad and Volgograd
Then the name of Tsaritsyn was changed into Stalingrad. Under Stalin, the city became heavily industrialized and was developed as a centre of heavy industry and trans-shipment by rail and river.
During World War II (Great Patriotic War), the city of Stalingrad became the center of the battle of Stalingrad, the costliest battle in human history, as well as the pivotal turning point in the war against Germany.
A lot of building were destructed during the war. then, it was decided that the city was ought to be rebuild in the memorial of Russian victory upon the Stalingrad Battle.
If you look at the picture closely which of course not at those two girl. you will notice two emblem, according to my lecturer one symbolized the civil war, another is the patriotic spirit and at the center there are several culpture celebrating the happiness of victory.
This is the picture of Alley geroi(alley of heroes) in memorial of the stalingrad battle. This Alley lies from here the street of Mira to the bank of Volga River. It is said that this alley is build so that Stalin could walk from the Volga River up till the centre of the City. Besides that, all the building along the Alley was designed by the same architect that rebuild the St.Petersburg. One of them is our beloved university. Many plan was carried forward but Stalin died back then and most of them was stopped.
I asked my lecturer why the name Stalingrad was changed to Volgograd. He answered it was because due to a very tragic story during the rule of Stalin, a lot of people die so they didn't want to remember it ever again. Too bad, I think the name of Stalingrad are more familiar to most of people. I often have a problem to introduce Volgograd to my friend and relatives back then at home.
