Stalingrad: On the 70th Anniversary of a Tide-Turning Battle, a Controversial Name Makes a Comeback Read more: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/02/03/...#ixzz2K4t8ho5t

Sergei P. Zabednov, the Volgograd city lawmaker who drafted the measure, told the New York Times that the move was not intended to rehabilitate Stalin but rather “return respect” to the millions of Russian veterans who fought in the war.
Several of the city’s minibuses are now decorated with Stalin’s portraits in memory of his role in the defeat of Nazi Germany, according to the Washington Post.
Though remembered throughout the world as a dictator responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of his citizens, Stalin’s popularity is making a comeback in his motherland.
According to the Levada Center, a Moscow-based polling agency, 22% of Russians said in 2012 that Stalin played a “negative role” in the country’s development, down from 60% in 1998, reported the Times.
Some in Volgograd want to make the name change permanent. Reuters reported that a group of local communists have collected 35,000 signatures for a petition and plans to take their demands to court in the next few weeks.
However, bringing back the name Stalingrad, even temporarily, has angered other Russians. Nikolai Levichev, a senior lawmaker with the leftist A Just Russia party, told the Associated Press that it is “blasphemous to rename the great Russian city after a bloody tyrant who killed millions of his fellow citizens.”

Not so shocking when one realizes that the old Soviet Union is returning. Stepping back into its old role. Obama so greatly weakening our nation plays right into that. Amazing how his agenda seems to just happen to help leftists and muslims, isn't it??-Tyr
