The city of Volzhsky is one of the largest cities in the Volgograd region, as well as a large industrial center of the Lower Volga region with a population of 314.4 thousand people. The city is located on the bank of Akhtuba, 20 km from Volgograd. According to the results of the all-Russian competition “The most comfortable city in Russia”, held in 2004, the city of Volzhsky was awarded the title of the greenest city among cities with a population of up to 500,000 inhabitants. Due to the fact that the city does not have such a long history, the attractions of Volzhsky are relatively young; most of the interesting places in the city are not even 50 years old.

The oldest building in the city is a hundred-year-old school, which currently houses an art gallery. Volga residents relax on Lenin Square, VGS Park and Fontannaya Street, visit the local history museum and exhibition hall. There are many religious attractions in Volzhsky: among all the churches and temples in Volzhsky, the most famous is the Church of St. John the Evangelist.
