The Soviet statue built to commemorate the Battle of Stalingrad, the bloodiest battle in human history, now called Volgograd, The Motherland Calls is built on Mamaev Kurgan, a small hill overlooking the city. Sometimes called the Mother Russia statue.
The famous Changing of the Guard was incredible to see, upclose and personal, as they march directly in front of you. The horrors of WW2 and what the German Nazis unleashed on this city is never far from mind.
Currently the biggest female statue in the world. Built over the mass graves of 34,500 soldiers, a small part of the over 1 or 2 million people killed in the battle (estimates vary). Let that number sink in.
Visiting in the daytime and nighttime gives a different experience, especially seeing the Military Hall of Honor, with the flickering Eternal Flame. A UNESCO World Heritage site.

This statue is part of a group of four statues designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich and united by the same theme. The 1st one in Magnitogorsk, which was the heart of the Soviet industry during WWII, it is called “Rear to Front” and it shows the industry worker giving the Victory sward to the soldier. The idea is that the Victory sward was welded in the rear of the country and given by the workers to the Soviet army. The 2nd is “the Motherland Calls” in your video - the Victory sward is risen to defeat the enemy. The 3rd one is in Berlin in Treptov Park, there the Victory sward was lowered. Holding it is a Soviet soldier, and at his feet is a broken swastika. The 4th one is in New York in front of the UN headquarters, its name is “Let’s beat swards into plowshares” and it symbolised the Soviets’ offer for global peace. Which, as we know, the West rejected.

Каждый шаг раздаётся,как выстрел. Никто не забыт,ничто не забыто. Дай Бог,чтоб наши потомки помнили всегда,как далась эта Победа. И чтоб они никогда не сомневались,что наши предки настоящие Герои и именно они подарили нам всем свободу и защитили свою Землю

Если есть знакомые и друзья без проблем. Я по интернету, в специальной программе, сделал вызов,моим друзьям из Германии, они пришли в наше консульство в Гамбурге, получили в электронном виде визу. Все. Покупайте билет и летите. Вам ничего не нужно только копию паспорта прислать тому, кто делает вызов, по интернету. Деньги платить не нужно)))) Я сам заплатил, тоже не выходя из дома по интернету, там совершенно немного по деньгам. Совсем не сложно и быстро.
