And among them, the Battle of Stalingrad, which lasted from July 17, 1942 to February 2, 1943, occupies a special place. Then, in July 1942, a huge territory of the Soviet Union was under the heel of the Nazis. The Nazis needed oil, the Caucasus, and the most fertile areas of the country. And Stalingrad stood in their way. ...Stalingrad is the Volga. The Volga is the wealth, glory, and pride of Russia. At Stalingrad, soldiers defended our mother, Russia. "There is no land for us beyond the Volga!" - these are the words of sniper Vasily Zaitsev, who personally destroyed 300 fascists near Stalingrad.
