During Joseph Stalin's rule (1922–1953), many places, mostly cities, in the Soviet Union and other communist countries were named or renamed in honour of him as part of the cult of personality surrounding him. Most of these places had their names changed back to the original ones shortly after the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1956 or after the beginning of de-Stalinization in 1961.
In some countries, including those in the West, there are streets, squares, etc. named after Stalingrad (and hence indirectly after Stalin) in honour of the courage shown by the defenders at the battle of Stalingrad against Nazi Germany. These names have not been changed since they refer to the battle of Stalingrad rather than the city itself.
