    the Motherland..

    By OlgaPNYC  |  Posted October 4, 2009  |  Volgograd, Russian Federation
     

    the Statue of Motherland

     

    The figure itself measures 52 metres (170 feet),

    and the sword 33 metres (108 feet).

     

    ...The statue is evocative of the classic Greek representations of Nike

    in particular the flowing drapery, similar to that of the Nike of Samothrace.
