28 November 1988<\/p>\n
Today Volgograd is actively developing its twin relations with the city of Cologne, which first become a twin on November 28, 1988. The emerged partnership between two cities facilitated the cooperation between their citizens and allowed for the implementation of school and university exchange programmes. During the difficult for Russia 90s Cologne sent a couple of trucks with humanitarian aid as well as collected and sent all the necessities to the people in Volgograd. In 1989 the Volgograd-Cologne Partnership Organisation was established to facilitate the partnership between these two cities. In order to bring people together it was decided to make documentaries about the life and history of two cities, exhibit photos, have concerts and festivals.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
