	Mamayev Kurgan: Mamaev Kurgan at night Tip Rating:

Motherland statue at night

by Pablos_new

Mamaev Kurgan is open for visitors 24 h a day. At night there is a special lightning in the park and near statues and memorials.

note: Mamaev Hill is a little bit wrong translation of the Russian name Mamaev Kurgan. Kurgan is a tumulus or a barrow. This means that in encient past this could be a grave of one of the nomades leader. Name Mamaev shows it could have some connection to Mamai - leader of Golden Hordes, but there is no any reliable historical evidence of that.

Motherland Statue at
Mamayov Kurgon

by heplion

Mamayov Kurgan is a huge War memorial complex dedicated to those that lost their lives in the battle of Stalingrad. The picture is of "Motherland" or, as is usually translated into English, "Mother Russia". It is a massive statue commemorating the loss of life and the victory. It stands about 4 meters higher than the statue of liberty.

Directions: It is in the southern part of the center. You can't miss it, just walk towards the statue...

Volgograd Page by CptKangaroo

the battle of (than) stalingrad, was maybe one of the most fierce ones in the whole war (though every single has its own tragic).
the momument can be seen from all over volgograd and is nothing but impressive. i was there and a beautiful sunny day, but had a hard time thinking of tenthousands dying there in some distant winters in the 1940's.
go there in the memory of all the dead.

	Mamayev Kurgan: This is one more general view... Tip Rating:

This is one more general view of the complex. On the right-hand side there are 6 fragments, representing courage of the Russian fighters in that battle. On the left-hand side there is a large fountain, where water is always still and clear. On the back there's a main sculpture of the complex -- Mother Russia. Actually, Mamayev Hill is a very old hill. I don't think anbody knows exactly why it was called so, but it is very old name. During the Stalingrad battle Mamayev Hill was the major aim, because it is the highest point in the city. But to biuld the memorial builders had to increase the height of the hill. Now it is about twice as high as it used to be before.

	Mamayev Kurgan: the Memorial on Mamayev Hill.... Tip Rating:

By xenia on August 24, 2002

by xenia

the Memorial on Mamayev Hill. That is the main sightseen in Volgograd. On this picture is the general view on the Memorial. It was built in 1970. I mean it was finished in 1970, on 25-th aniversary of finishing the World War II. It is one of the largest memorials in the World, dedicated to the WW II. It is still visited by many tourists from Russia. The first sculpture you see is called 'Fight to the Last'. It is seen as a soldier standing with the last granade ready to face death. He's like a rock -- that's why the bottom part of the sculpture is just the rock. Around this sculpture there's a fountain, where people drop their donations to the memorial.
