The red color is also a symbol of courage and resilience of the inhabitants of the Volgograd Oblast during all periods of its being in Russia, their activity, determination, solidarity and ability to sacrifice. This color is considered a symbol of pride and freedom and recalls that the sacred Volgograd land is abundantly watered with the blood of the defenders of the Fatherland.

The statue of the Motherland, long and firmly associated throughout the world with the Volgograd Oblast, personifies the unlimited patriotism of the inhabitants of the region, the combat and labor heroism of the people over the centuries and recalls that it was on the territory of the Volgograd region that the grandiose battle of Stalingrad took place, which largely determined further historical destinies our country and all of humanity.

The blue stripes on the flag of the region remind of the natural and geographical originality of the Volgograd Oblast, which is the only region in the European part of the Russian Federation through the territory of which the two largest rivers of European Russia - the Volga and Don flow at once, and symbolize these rivers crossing the territory of the Volgograd region, which are of great importance in her life and development throughout history.
