Colossal statue on the Mamayev Kurgan heights overlooking Volgograd, "The Motherland calls" used 7900 tons of concrete and steel in a dramatic sculpture design by Yevgeny Vuchetich. Motherland is the name of several huge statues in various cities of the former Soviet Union. All of them commemorate the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War (World War II).
For scale, note the person at the base of the statue. ( Edited by Schligge)
