Union of Russian Cities (URC)
The Union of Russian Cities was registered in 1991 with the aim to assist in the establishment and development of local government in the Russian Federation.
This organization is a voluntary union of municipalities – both regional centers of the Russian Federation and other city-type municipal formations – created to coordinate the activity of municipalities to ensure that their rights and interests are exercised efficiently and that the local self-government in the Russian Federation keeps growing stronger and self-reliant.

The URC provides municipal formations with the ways to interact on the questions concerning the interests of local governments, as well as assists its member-cities in the realization of projects aimed at helping the local government organs exercise their duties more efficiently.
Volgograd has been a member of the URC since 1991. The Mayor of Volgograd makes part of the URC governing body – the Board of the Union.
