The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the largest pitched battles of World War II; it laid the foundation for the Soviet and Allied victory over Nazi Germany.
Sputnik is live from Volgograd, where Russian President Vladimir Putin is speaking at a gala concert marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Army's defeat of Nazi troops in Stalingrad.
The Battle of Stalingrad was a turning point in World War II which paved the way for the Soviet Union's subsequent victory over Germany in May 1945. Defeat at the Battle of Stalingrad came as a shock to all of Nazi Germany; it shook its foreign policy positions and undermined confidence among its satellite states, who had been convinced that the USSR would lose the city in matter of days.
