Mamayev Kurgan

Mamayev Kurgan is an overwhelming tallness sitting above the city of Volgograd in the past Stalingrad in Southern Russia. The name in Russian signifies "tumulus of Mamai". The development is ruled by a dedication complex recognizing the Battle of Stalingrad August 1942 to February 1943. The fight, a hard-battled Soviet triumph over Axis powers on the Eastern Front of World War II, transformed into one of the bloodiest fights in human history. At the season of its establishment in 1967 the statue named The Motherland Calls on Mamayev Kurgan shaped the biggest detached figure in the world; starting at 2016 it is the tallest model of a lady on the planet.

The stupendous remembrance was built somewhere in the range of 1959 and 1967, and is delegated by an immense figurative statue of the Motherland on the highest point of the slope. It comprises of a solid model, 52 meters tall, and 85 meters from the feet to the tip of the 27-meter sword, ruling the horizon of the city of Stalingrad later renamed Volgograd. The development utilizes concrete, with the exception of the treated steel edge of the sword, and is hung on its plinth exclusively by its very own weight. The statue is reminiscent of traditional Greek portrayals of Nike, specifically the streaming drapery, like that of the Nike of Samothrace.
