Volgograd Stalingrad in Pictures - The Motherland Calls #Volgograd #Russia
Volgograd Motherland Calls is a statue at Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd, Russia. - More sightseeing in Volgograd... The Motherland Calls (Russian: Родина-мать зовёт!, tr. Rodina-mat' zovyot!, literally Homeland-Mother Is Calling) is a statue in Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd, Russia, commemorating the Battle of Stalingrad. It was designed by sculptor Yevgeny Vuchetich and structural engineer Nikolai Nikitin, and declared the largest statue in the world in 1967. Today, it is the tallest statue of a woman in the world, not including pedestals.
The Motherland Calls is highly complex from an engineering point of view, due to its characteristic posture with a sword raised high in the right hand and the left hand extended in a calling gesture. The technology behind the hollow statue is based on a combination of prestressed concrete with wire ropes structure, a solution which can be found also in another work of Nikitin's, the super-tall Ostankino Tower in Moscow.
The monument was inspired by the Ancient Greek sculpture the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and was modelled on a local woman, Valentina Izotova.
Visit Wolgograd formerly known as Stalingrad - We will join the Victory Day Parade in Wolgograd and celebrate 9th of May with the locals. We also going to see the war memorials and war cemetery.
Join us on a wonderful history tour to Russia and Russian culture.
Victory Day is a holiday that commemorates the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. It was first inaugurated in the 16 republics of the Soviet Union, following the signing of the German Instrument of Surrender late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (after midnight, thus on 9 May Moscow Time). The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin. Though the official inauguration occurred in 1945 the holiday became a non-labour day only in 1965 and only in certain Soviet republics.
In East Germany, 8 May was observed as Liberation Day from 1950 to 1966, and was celebrated again on the 40th anniversary in 1985. In 1975, a Soviet-style Victory Day was celebrated on 9 May. Since 2002, the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has observed a commemoration day known as the Day of Liberation from National Socialism, and the End of the Second World War.
After regaining their independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic countries now commemorate the end of World War II on 8 May, the Victory in Europe Day.
During the Soviet Union's existence, 9 May was celebrated throughout the USSR and in the countries of the Eastern Bloc. Though the holiday was introduced in many Soviet republics between 1946 and 1950, it only became a non-labour day in the Ukrainian SSR in 1963 and the Russian SSR in 1965. In the Russian SSR a weekday off (usually a Monday) was given if 9 May fell on a Saturday or Sunday.
The celebration of Victory Day continued during subsequent years. The war became a topic of great importance in cinema, literature, history lessons at school, the mass media, and the arts. The ritual of the celebration gradually obtained a distinctive character with a number of similar elements: ceremonial meetings, speeches, lectures, receptions and fireworks.
In Russia during the 1990s, the 9 May holiday was not celebrated with large Soviet-style mass demonstrations due to the policies of successive Russian governments. Following Vladimir Putin's rise to power, the Russian government began promoting the prestige of the governing regime and history, and national holidays and commemorations became a source of national self-esteem. Victory Day in Russia has increasingly become a celebration in which popular culture plays a central role. The 60th and 70th anniversaries of Victory Day in Russia (2005 and 2015) became the largest popular holidays since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
In 2015 around 30 leaders, including those of China and India, attended the 2015 celebration, while Western leaders boycotted the ceremonies because of the Russian military intervention in Ukraine.

My Night Train From Baku To Volgograd
I ignored at the moment but I think my travel will go good and by tomorrow afternoon will be in the old Stalingrad, the old Tzaritzin, Volgograd City admiring the battle scared city, its museums and war sites. Destiny and my carelessness has a surprise awaiting for me; totally forgot the dates on my visa and I am departing the night of the 13 October to enter Russia on the 14, my visa takes effect on the 15. Yup! That will do it.
At around 02:45 hrs. of the 14, we entered Russian Federation territory and stopped at Derbent, Republic of Dagestan. As usual in those cases, you half sleeping hand up your passport to the Immigration authorities and try to continue sleeping, later on they will bring you back your passport. Well, it did not happen like that with me; the officers did not speak english but the only thing they told me was “let’s take a walk” with a sinister smile, then they explained the problem to me; my visa was not in effect and they couldn’t send me back to Azerbaijan because I had a “one-entry visa” only for that country, in other words, I was stuck in the Twilight Zone for one day, in no man’s land.
I was taken off the train and detained. Was interrogated and photographed, I felt like a common criminal, but have nothing against the Border Police; they were just doing their job and actually, they were very good to me. Have to thank them actually because after my release they installed me in a hotel, took me to buy my bus ticket to continue my journey and took me for a tour of the city, dinner and fun. The commanding officer actually gave money for the taxi to one of the officers to take me to get my bus and hotel. That is what I call beautiful people!
My eternal gratitude to the Russian Federation Border Police!
On the other hand, if this incident part of my carelessness had not happen, I wouldn’t get to know Derbent and the Republic of Dagestan, nor I had passed by Chechnya!
All part of the adventure of traveling those lands.
