The city was called Tsaritsyn until 1925, and renamed to Volgograd in 1961: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volgograd It doesn't seem to have played a part in WWI, though there was fighting during the Communist takeover. | |

| Jun 10, 2018 at 10:29 | comment | added | lly | In any case, Russia's extremely low population density speaks against it having anything approaching a contender to this question. Any death it saw in WWII or under Stalin is already dwarfed (particularly if we're speaking in terms of density) by the abattoir China became during the same period... let alone the rest of its much longer history. | |

The point I am hoping to make is that Stalingrad had, with the exception of five terrible months (Aug 1942 to Jan 1943), been mostly peaceful for the duration of modernity - which included the 52 'other' months of the Second World War in Europe. | |
| Jun 9, 2018 at 20:05 | comment | added | J F | “For example, Stalingrad was completely razed during the Second World War, but it did not see violence for the entire duration of the Second World War” Should one of those be “First World War”? | |
