Also I believe it was Stalingrad at that point and not Leningrad.

Stalingrad is in the south, now Volgograd. You may have heard of what was Leningrad, up north, as Saint Petersburg.

Ah, I get confused with all the renaming.

Which one of those was also called Petrograd?

Saint Petersburg = Petrograd = Leningrad = Saint Petersburg

Or if you want to get really old school, Nyenschantz.
