Discussions about renaming the Volgograd airport to "Stalingrad" have been actively ongoing since the 1990s. However, the airport was renamed from "Gumrak" to "Stalingrad" only after Putin's intervention - on April 29, 2025, he declared his support for the initiative of veterans and participants of the SVO, signing a decree on the renaming on the same day. At the same time, some citizens spoke out sharply against the renaming, recalling the Stalin era, during which 250 thousand Stalingrad residents were repressed.
