Dear friends,
  Our college of gas and oil is situated in Volgograd, the centre of Volgograd region. Volgograd region occupies the territory of 114,1 thousands sq. kms., its population is more than 2,5 mln. people (that is it is three times more than the territory of Switzerland and only 18000 kms. less than the territory of Grecce). Our city was founded in the XVIth century (in 1589) and was called Tsarychin then. During the years of the Soviet power it was renamed Stalingrad (1925) and then Volgograd (in 1961).

  Volgograd is an old city with its bright history full of events and interesting present and prospect future. At present our city is a big industrial, agricultural, cultural, educational and scientific center, it’s also a centre of business, entrepreneurship, banking etc. The
city is located on the bank of the great Russian Volga-river that is peculiar for its beauty and favorable economic characteristics.

  There are many places of interest in our city (the Mamaev Hill, the Panorama ethnographic museum “German settlement Sarepta of the XVI century), but our greatest place of sightseeing is our people. Citizens of Volgograd are energetic, talented, cordial and hospitable. We are interested in fruitful cooperation with foreign partners and believe it’ll be of mutual benefit.
