This is one of the most sad and at the same time memorable places in Russia, where you are pierced by all the sorrow that the Soviet people experienced in World War II.
To find on Google Maps:
Mamayev Kurgan (Russian: Мамаев курган) 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 on Mamayev Kurgan formed the largest free-standing sculpture in the world; as of 2018 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. To defend it, the Soviets had built strong defensive lines on the slopes of the hill, composed of trenches, barbed-wire and minefields. The Germans pushed forward against the hill, taking heavy casualties. When they finally captured the hill, they started firing on the city centre, as well as on the city's main railway station under the hill. They captured the Volgograd railway station on 14 September 1942.
On the same day, the Soviet 13th Guards Rifle Division commanded by Alexander Rodimtsev arrived in the city from the east side of the river Volga under heavy German artillery fire. The division's 10,000 men immediately rushed into the battle. On 16 September they recaptured Mamayev Kurgan and kept fighting for the railway station, taking heavy losses. By the following day, almost all of them had died. The Soviets kept reinforcing their units in the city as fast as they could. The Germans assaulted up to twelve times a day, and the Soviets would respond with fierce counter-attacks.
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.
When the battle ended, the soil on the hill had been so thoroughly churned by shellfire and mixed with metal fragments that it contained between 500 and 1,250 splinters of metal per square meter. The earth on the hill had remained black in the winter, as the snow kept melting in the many fires and explosions. In the following spring the hill would still remain black, as no grass grew on its scorched soil. The hill's formerly steep slopes had become flattened in months of intense shelling and bombardment. Even today, it is possible to find fragments of bone and metal still buried deep throughout the hill.
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 first Marshal of the Soviet Union to be buried outside Moscow. Soviet sniper Vasily Zaytsev was also reburied there in 2006.
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! (Russian: Родина-мать зовёт! Rodina Mat Zovyot!). 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 Motherland Calls: Russia's symbol of victory (RT documentary)
She stands 52 meters tall: six meters taller than the famous symbol of the United States. She weighs 8,000 tons. The Guinness Book of Records called her the tallest sculpture in the world at the time of construction. Two hundred steps, symbolizing the 200 days of the Battle of Stalingrad, lead from the bottom of the hill to the monument. She is Russia's symbol of victory! The Motherland calls on RT!

Changing of the Guard. Mamayev Kurgan Memorial, Russia.
Memorial to Russian heroes. Mamayev Hill Memorial is based in Volgograd (formaly known as Stalingrad).
The Battle of Stalingrad began on 19 of August 1942 and ended on February 2, 1943. The first massive bombing of Stalingrad took place on 19 August 1942. By February 2nd 1943 Field Marshal Paulus, signed the unconditional surrender of his army.
At that time Stalingrad was a major industrial center, producing, in particular,
T-34 tanks. The Stalingrad area was the largest agricultural region. All this
(the production of weapons and food) helped to win at that battle.
The capture of this area was one of Hitler's strategic objectives.
After the defeat near Moscow in 1941, Hitler renounced its capture and in 1942 directed his efforts to capture Stalingrad and the Caucasus. Caucasus - that is Baku oil.
Winter, of course, played a role, but the key was in a fierce resistance both the civilian population and the army.
In 1956, took place 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which denounced Stalin's personality cult and served as a starting point for the country's democratization in the postwar period. A byproduct of this was the renaming of Stalingrad which is now known as Volgograd.
