Mother Russia is a worthy tribute to the defenders of Stalingrad (now Volvograd} in World War 11.
The huge statue is bigger than the Statue of Liberty and forms the hub of a memorial site on Мама́ев Курга́н - or the Hill of Mamai.
The hill is named after a medieval commander of the Tatar Golden Horde.
"The Motherland Calls" was the largest statue in the world when erected in 1967.
