I am a 2nd-generation Russian-Ukrainian, born in Texas, and feel my Slavic roots every day. Perhaps some day I can locate the village of my Ukrainian grandmother
Could someone help me. As far as I know, there was a city called both Stalingrad and Leningrad. (not at the same time). and now it's called Volgograd? And is St. Petersburg the same city? I want to go to russia, and I can't find anything that makes sense on google, so please explain. :)
It's simple... St Petersburg became Petrograd in 1914, Leningrad in 1924, and back to St Petersburg in 1991.
The old city of Tsaritsyn became Stalingrad in the 20s and was renamed Volgograd in the 50s, when Stalin fell out of favour.
Two different cities with radically different histories. St Petersburg is on the Baltic, and the old imperial capital, whilst Volgograd is an industrial town on the Volga in Central Russia.
I have walked over much of the world,I have lived in trenches and I was twice buried alive, I knew separation,I loved in despair,But always I was proud of Moscow, And everywhere I repeated the words My dear capital city! My golden Moscow.~~I love Moscow's country groves,And the bridges over your river,I love your Red Square And the Kremlin clock bells,In town and distant villages,You will be talked about forever,My dear capital city!My golden Moscow!>>>>>
This traslation is a liiitle but incorrect: the expression in Russian "Похоронен был дважды заживо" should be translated not as "burried twice" but rather as that he was considered for dead twice while he was actually alive, or that he was almost dead for two times.
Moscow is a great city with a history that deserves respect and love. Long live the Russian people, hopefully with peace, security and long overdue prosperity.

Clear it up, one hopes?
