Ah. Here's a nice picture of the Volgograd park on the river, on the Avenue of the Heroes of Stalingrad: http://www.vlg.mobi/photogallery/func,detail/catid,6/id,291/
Note the head of Lenin on top of the building on the right.
There are also a bunch of nice pictures here: http://www.volgograd.info/photo/ (text in Russian).
It's a very pleasant town.
The gutted building is next to the museum of the Battle of Stalingrad. It's been preserved in its bombed-out state.
