Visiting The Motherland Calls Statue - Didn't Expect This...

[@marinaandrosova5707]

This statue is part of a group of four statues designed by Yevgeny Vuchetich and united by the same theme. The 1st one in Magnitogorsk, which was the heart of the Soviet industry during WWII, it is called “Rear to Front” and it shows the industry worker giving the Victory sward to the soldier. The idea is that the Victory sward was welded in the rear of the country and given by the workers to the Soviet army. The 2nd is “the Motherland Calls” in your video - the Victory sward is risen to defeat the enemy. The 3rd one is in Berlin in Treptov Park, there the Victory sward was lowered. Holding it is a Soviet soldier, and at his feet is a broken swastika. The 4th one is in New York in front of the UN headquarters, its name is “Let’s beat swards into plowshares” and it symbolised the Soviets’ offer for global peace. Which, as we know, the West rejected.

"Global peace under communism...." is what the West Rejected! Thank God!

Good for you, that you visited the land of your ancestors. People should never forget who they are and where do they came from. Russia is great land, with extraordinary history and I would like to visit it some day. Best wishes for you.

This place demands presence in person him/herself. Just to feel the atmosphere.

I wept helplessly when I visited this place.

[@TheM9lta]

такое нередко случается, от понимания сколько жизней было уничтожено

[@michaelhieblaum9915]

For reference: for every square meter of land there are 15 dead soldiers

[@zv8587]

Took my kids there one summer,travelled all the way from the North of Russia.Felt the pain seeping from under the ground with my every step.Couldn't film anything there,only weep.

[@petersfoodadventures]

once you stop and reflect what you are seeing, and what happened and lives lost, it's truly overwhelming.

[@resireg]

That's why you should support Ukraine right now

[@bethanygrishaw7159]

The steps of all these soldiers sound like claps of thunder

[@Elena.b51]

Каждый шаг раздаётся,как выстрел. Никто не забыт,ничто не забыто. Дай Бог,чтоб наши потомки помнили всегда,как далась эта Победа. И чтоб они никогда не сомневались,что наши предки настоящие Герои и именно они подарили нам всем свободу и защитили свою Землю

Моё Свидетельство о рождении, а я родился в 1961году в Волгоградской области, заверено печатью с надписью "Сталинградская область". Я этим горжусь!

[@ElenaChibirjak]

Родилась ещё в Сталинграде, живу в Волгограде, как и вся моя семья. Люблю свой город и его историю! По-английски говорю достаточно хорошо. Поэтому с искренним уважением говорю спасибо за такой замечательный репортаж о моем родном городе! Thanks!!!

[@juanporzio5990]

Great film, I was there in 2012, thank you very much and saludos to Volgograd!

[@Generator-q3k]

Мой отец там воевал. Ранение от авиа осколка в бедро. В детстве пол моей ладони входило в шрам...

[@gvalley07]

That statue is impressive. The city looks so peaceful and beautiful with its blue sky and greenbelts. Hard to imagine it was once hell on earth. Thanks for posting.

[@davidhookway1451]

That has to be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!

[@donaldhackler5242]

Great video! I have been to Russia previously and would really like to visit Volgograd.

[@lesbarfield305]

Great job! I was there in Nov 2002, memorial area seemed empty, just couple teens running around, and almost dark, as near dusk, not lit per video. Right where see people go under wall, towards statue, shown on the left are friezes of victory. To the right, not shown, are a line of hapless German POWs including a diabolical looking officer. These fade into the rough on the far right.

Thank you. Absolutely incredible.

[@russellaycock3703]

Awe inspiring memorial and very interesting that Schumann’s “Traumerei” is played there. I would love to see this place in person. The battle itself is unimaginable to me.

[@petersfoodadventures]

I didn't realize it was Traumerei. Interesting to know the reason for the choice of music.

Amazing. How difficult was it to enter Russia today?

[@petersfoodadventures]

no issues, just need to apply for a visa, and need to bring cash with you as credit cards don't work there.

[@Orlington17]

@@petersfoodadventures you can transfer to yourself while in Russia and cash out in any of unistream office for example!

[@ImPedofinderGeneral]

@@Orlington17 this schemes changes too frequently. Something working at this moment anyway but you cant know what. So bring the cash and do not plan to use certain way of online transfers

Если есть знакомые и друзья без проблем. Я по интернету, в специальной программе, сделал вызов,моим друзьям из Германии, они пришли в наше консульство в Гамбурге, получили в электронном виде визу. Все. Покупайте билет и летите. Вам ничего не нужно только копию паспорта прислать тому, кто делает вызов, по интернету. Деньги платить не нужно)))) Я сам заплатил, тоже не выходя из дома по интернету, там совершенно немного по деньгам. Совсем не сложно и быстро.

[@kharkanas6779]

This was the turning point of WW2. The German war machine was defeated by Russians with their backs just a few metres from the Volga.

[@MegaTriumph1]

This is what makes feel why can't humans graduate that war is no good for anybody except the bankers in Switzerland who is a neutral country of course.

[@ambidextra_ambidextra]

I really loved this outstanding video. Impeccably filmed and put together ; concisely informative & brilliantly capturing the spectacle. I've been fascinated by this monument for years but last time I read the Wiki page I didn't follow the link to this , or it wasn't there yet. This made me feel like I'd visited it. Thank you so much🙏🩶

[@petersfoodadventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!
