Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree giving the Volgograd airport the historic name of Stalingrad, evoking the Soviet victory over Nazi forces. The decree underlines the importance of perpetuating the memory of the Great Patriotic War. Putin has also compared the invasion of Ukraine to the fight against Nazism, while Ukraine rejects these parallels. The renaming reflects a rehabilitation of Stalin under Putin's leadership, in contrast to the distancing from his era in the post-Soviet period.
