Soldier and Mother Russia

Soldier and Mother Russia
Everything about Stalingrad (now Volgograd) is pride. It's quite an amazing statement of defiance. Most imposing of all is the incredible, enormous statue of Motherland. She's cast from solid concrete, and I'm very grateful to have seen her, since she is held in place only by her own weight, and as a result of subsidence, is reported to be leaning by about six inches. A few more and it's feared she may topple.
