Mamayev Kurgan is a dominant height overlooking the city of Volgograd (formerly Stalingrad) in Southern Russia. The name in Russian means "tumulus of Mamai". The formation is dominated by a memorial complex commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad (August 1942 to February 1943). The battle, a hard-fought Soviet victory over Axis forces on the Eastern Front of World War II, turned into one of the bloodiest battles in human history. At the time of its installation in 1967 the statue, named The Motherland Calls, formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world; today it is the tallest sculpture of a woman in the world.
When forces of the German Sixth Army launched their attack against the city centre of Stalingrad on 13 September 1942, Mamayev Kurgan (appearing in military maps as "Height 102.0") saw particularly fierce fighting between the German attackers and the defending soldiers of the Soviet 62nd Army. Control of the hill became vitally important, as it offered control over the city.
The hill changed hands several times. By 27 September, the Germans again captured half of Mamayev Kurgan. The Soviets held their own positions on the slopes of the hill, as the 284th Rifle Division defended the key stronghold. The defenders held out until 26 January 1943, when the counterattacking Soviet forces relieved them. The battle of the city ended one week later with an utter German defeat.
After the war, the Soviet authorities commissioned the enormous Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex. Vasily Chuikov, who led Soviet forces at Stalingrad, lies buried at Mamayev Kurgan, the only Marshal of the Soviet Union to be buried outside Moscow.
The monumental memorial was constructed between 1959 and 1967, and is crowned by a huge allegorical statue of the Motherland on the top of the hill. The monument, designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich, has the full name The Motherland Calls! It consists of a concrete sculpture, 52 metres tall, and 85 metres from the feet to the tip of the 27-metre sword, dominating the skyline of the city of Stalingrad (later renamed Volgograd).
The construction uses concrete, except for the stainless-steel blade of the sword, and is held on its plinth solely by its own weight. The statue is evocative of classical Greek representations of Nike, in particular the flowing drapery, similar to that of the Nike of Samothrace.

I visited Volgograd in 1978 and this memorial complex and statue. I still have my pictures from my visit. Very moving and sad to see in person, terrible loss of life honored. Dave-San Diego, CA
Знакомая когда была там, говорила что плакала
I remember being a kid in the 70s looking at Guinness book of world records and seeing this statue 50 years later I'm still amazed ❤❤❤
I have no words..this is incredible statue all time the mother land Calles 🙏🇮🇳
Thank you friend. Very inspiring and much respect to Russia and her people.
Russia’s Sacred Ground. Very well done.
this is so awe inspiring. It brought tears to my eyes to know so many died in this place and what it must mean to all of Russia
I read in a book that there are the bones of more than 20.000 men in that hill.

What inspires me is the thought they mostly died for their country, not Stalin.

I don't know why but I can't stop looking at your beautiful monument, she's absolutely amazing!!! Love from Colorado, USA ❤️🩹
What an incredible monument . Very moving. One can see the strategic importance of capturing and holding this vantage point. So many gave their lives for it and for Stalingrad. Thank you for posting this video. I hope i can visit the site myself someday.
This is one of the most important values of humankind, The Rememberance. The act to remember all those who fought for freedom should be a must written in the Human Rights Letter and into all Declaration of Independece of each contry. Thanks Rusia for be one of the best icons to follow for all of us!!!! Sorry, my russian level isn't enought yet!!!!
Thanks a lot!!!
May you rest in peace you heroes of Stalingrad and all soviets that died in the struggle to defeat fascism.
Always wanted to go there. Since childhood I've read so many accounts of Stalingrad. The tenacity and patriotism of the Red Army can not be denied only respected and honored.

Everyone in Latin America Respect the Russian people for their heroism and the huge sacrifice they had to give to stop the most evil group the world has ever known. I hope one day to go to Russia and pay my respect its increadable the monument they have done wow!
Communists are arguably worse.
Stalin killed more Russians than Fascism ever did.
A lot more.
Me, I'm 45, seen so much shit in my life
Hahahah what a joke
Magnifique vive la russie♥️👍
I got married to a Russian girl in 1996,Alexandra Godunova. This is the first thing she showed me
My favorite Russian city!
Beautiful day to view this amazing monument and gardens. Such a huge sacrifice for the people of Russia to repel the evil invasion of their country.Hopefully some day humanity will no longer have to suffer such destruction and grief. Pray for peace.

Amazing.
Волгоград - мой родной город. У меня тоже много видео о Волгограде.
Thanks for the tour... 👌👍
The view over the city is haunting.
Russia should change the name back....just my opinion as an american
Tsaritsyn before the revolution.
Most of Volgograd citizens don't like the idea of renaming the city to the old name.
@@SuicideFecal guess that settles it then
Yes I like just now got to know that this is Stalingrad.
We learned in school the battle of Stalingrad
I think it is pretty good idea to take that name back!
There's always something to see and to experience whenever I watch your videos. Always a great feeling. Thank you! : )
Thank you a lot! :)
The tallest statue in Europe BTW
Maravilloso. Gracias desde chile sudamerica
Amazing!

Slava Rasiji
💖🇷🇺💖🇷🇸👍🏼👏
Absolutely beautiful but you stopped videoing too soon! Why didn’t you get the statue close up from multiple angles?
When I saw how slowly you were walking and how short the video was my heart sank.
MUCH too short but what you DID record, you deserve a score of 10 out of 10.
If you live in Volgograd, please go back and get some more footage of this amazing statue.
¡Gloria eterna al Ejército Rojo! ¡Viva la URSS! ¡Rusia vencerá!
Thank you for posting.

Это Мама Россия!Родина Мать!Там люди в этом холмке похоронены тысячами!Ходьба по костям!
10:00 WOOOW
“Not one Step Back!”
Это видео я очень давно хотела посмотреть у вас, но почему-то всегда откладывала его на потом, в дальний ящик, можно так сказать)) Мамаев курган для меня всегда оставляет невероятные ощущения, сравнимые чем-то с местом в Россошках. Правда один раз я была все-таки грешна, в попытках приставания к солдату, стоящему возле Вечного огня, чтобы он слегка шевельнулся, не дожидаясь караула)) Но это в прошлом))) 😇 В этих видео очень интересно оглядываться по сторонам и ступать осторожной поступью вслед вам)) Спасибо за вашу работу) Теперь вы знаете, какие мои планы на выходные)) 😂
Спасибо!😍 Да, ощущения и правда там довольно сильные. В Россошках не был( Скоро будет новое видео с Мамаева, оно будет длиннее, пойду вглубь за памятник
@@walkfilmmaker буду с нетерпением ждать выхода вашего видео)
Farewell to patriots!
Peace in heaven
You should play Soviet/Russian anthem once the "Motherland Calls" got into the picture.
Maybe next time)
Awe. Just Awe..
Я живу в этом городе !
There is another city on the Volga - Astrakhan, you can also visit it.
Круто!
Wow amazing
Imagine camping out overnight in some of these places. Would be. experience I have to believe.

Meet the Motherland with her sons!
I've not been to Volgograd, very pretty monument area. Is this the companion statue to the one in Kyiv? What time of year was this one, it wasn't filmed this year was it? But I miss the hair scarfs. Couldn't she come with you on this trip?
It was in October this year, this is my hometown :)
Unfortunately I was alone this time?:(
Yes in Volgograd and Kiev the statue represents the history and character of Mother Soviet-Russia.
kkkiev is ungrateful tho.

Germany must have been a serious and hard oppenent when the russians celebrate the victory over Germany in such a monumental and overwhelming kind.....
The Germans at one stage had upheld 90% of the town and came so close to seizing it.
@@jamesglenn4266what exactly Germans were 90% of seizing?
Lol these statues are horrendous… the man with a rifle and a dumbbell what the hell has to do with the war…
