Mother Motherland (Ukrainian: Батьківщина-Мати, Russian: Родина-мать) - a monumental monument standing in Kiev, in the Pechersk district. It is part of the Museum of the History of Ukraine in World War II. The statue is made of stainless steel, its height is 62 m, while the whole including the pedestal is 102 m high. The weight of the sculpture is 560 tons. The sword held in the right hand of the sculpture is 16 meters long and weighs 9 tons, while the left hand holds a shield measuring 13x8 meters with the emblem of the USSR.Inside the pedestal there is a memorial hall, lined with marble slabs with the names of more than 11,000 soldiers and 200 workers who received the titles of Hero of the Soviet Union and Hero of Socialist Labor. In the hills around the museum, flowers and wreaths are traditionally laid.
In the 1950s, in the area now occupied by the monument, it was planned to build monuments to Włodzimierz Lenin and Józef Stalin, each 200 m high. Ultimately, however, these plans were not implemented [2].A local legend has it that in the 1970s, the sculpture designer Yevgeny Vuczetich was on a cruise with a group of Kiev communist dignitaries who decided that the high slopes of the Transnistrian region were a perfect place to build a war memorial. In addition, the tall building was to overshadow the nearby Pechersk Lavra.
