First P-Day adventure.  Mother Russia

according to Google...
The Motherland Calls, also called Mother Motherland or simply The Motherland, or The Mamayev Monument is a statue in Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd, Russia commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad.
The model who posed for Mother Motherland, Valentina Izotova, a native of the city, is still recognized for her resemblance to the statue. She was recruited by Lev Maistrenko, an artist who was working on the memorial complex in the early 1960s. According to some sources the statue was partially inspired by Winged Victory of Samothrace, with somewhat more extended drapery. Marshal of the Soviet Union Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov is buried in the area of the monument.
Measuring 85 meters (279 feet) from the tip of its sword to the top of the plinth, The statue is at our number 1 of 5 tallest statue in the world.  (FYI:  the Statue of Liberty is 46 meters, 151 feet tall, #3 of the tallest statues in the world)

according to Scott:
Yesterday we went with some other missionaries in the area to the statue I told you about when we talked on the phone last week. It's called Mother Russia if you want to Google it. It is amazing, and I took lots of pictures. It has an almost holy atmosphere, kind of like at the tomb of the unknown soldier. There is so much history here and we got to see a glimpse of it.
