Kamchatka.


This is coolbert:

"'Putin has approved the idea and the icebreaker will carry the name Stalingrad' . . . 'The initiative is important for the preservation of the memory of the bravery of protectors of Stalingrad during the Great Patriotic War'"

"In chilly return to past, Putin names new icebreaker 'Stalingrad'"

From  https://thebarentsobserver.com | the article Atle Staalesen  |November 20, 2023.

"The state leader [Putin] reportedly approves a proposal to name the super-powerful Arctic vessel after the Communist dictator and mass-murderer.
"The projected nuclear-powered icebreaker was originally to be named Kamchatka. But the Kremlin now appears to have intervened and renamed the powerful ship Stalingrad."

Idea to change the name of the Kamchata to Stalingrad DID NOT originate in the Kremlin. But HAS been approved by the Kremlin.

Understand full the name change not honoring Joseph Stalin but rather the Russians that fought and died defending Stalingrad during the Second World War.  The city now called [and has been called for some time now]  Volgograd.
