📍 From "To Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad" at Mamayev Kurgan, Russia
Towering over the city of Volgograd, The Motherland Calls is a colossal statue commanding the site of one of World War II’s most critical battles. Erected on Mamayev Kurgan, an ancient burial mound turned strategic vantage point, it honors the heroic defenders of Stalingrad. The figure’s raised sword and outstretched arm symbolize the call to protect the motherland, while the “To Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad” memorial complex features a solemn Eternal Flame, sculptural compositions, and a Hall of Military Glory. Visitors can ascend the hill for panoramic city views and reflect on the sacrifice and courage etched into these grounds, a testament to Russia’s unyielding spirit.
