The new paper is to be called Volgogradskaya Gazeta.

The new paper's editor will be Tatiana Kaminskaya, the former editor of Gorodskiye Izvestia, she has confirmed that the new paper will focus on city life and publish interviews.

Volgograd vice-mayor Konstantin Kalachyov confirmed that "The personnel of the closed Gorodskiye Vesti is preparing for the release of the first issue (of the new paper Volgogradskaya Gazeta) on Tuesday."
