About Volgograd

Volgograd is a major city in southern Russia and the administrative center of the Volgograd Region. With a population of just over one million and an area of 859 km², it is one of the largest cities along the Volga River and an important cultural, economic, and transport hub.

The city stretches along the western bank of the lower Volga, about 420 km northwest of Astrakhan, 450 km northeast of Rostov-on-Don, 370 km south of Saratov, and roughly 975 km southeast of Moscow. Volgograd is divided into eight administrative districts: Central, Dzerzhinsky, Voroshilovsky, Traktorozavodsky, Krasnooktyabrsky, Sovetsky, Kirovsky, and Krasnoarmeysky.

Founded in the 16th century, Volgograd was first mentioned in 1589 as Tsaritsyn. In 1925 it was renamed Stalingrad, and in 1961 it received its current name, reflecting its location on the Volga River.

Today, Volgograd is also a major transportation hub, served by Gumrak International Airport, the large Volgograd-1 railway station, and a central bus terminal.

Climate

Volgograd has a moderately continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters. Because the city lies in open steppe, strong winds and sharp temperature changes are common.

Summer: Long and hot, lasting from May through mid-September. Daytime highs often reach 95 °F (35 °C) or higher, making Volgograd one of the hottest large cities in Russia.

Winter: Dry and variable, with both freezing conditions and occasional thaws. Snowfall is relatively light and inconsistent.

Rainfall: Low, averaging about 70 mm annually, evenly distributed throughout the year.
