's rule (1922–1953), many places, mostly cities, in the Soviet Union
and other communist countries were named or renamed in honor of him as part of the cult of personality
. 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 destalinization
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 back, since they refer to the battle of Stalingrad rather than the city itself.
