On 2 February, A man in a Red Army VOV uniform walks toward the Mother-Motherland monument during ceremonies marking the 72nd anniversary of the end of the Battle of Stalingrad in Volgograd. Remember what Marshal Zhukov said, “The Russian Army has two great generals… General January and General February”. One can see the meaning of that in this image.
All those who march on Russia will be put to death…

Fireworks at the site of the Родина-мать зовёт (Rodina Mat Zovyot: The Mother-Motherland Calls) monument on Mamayev Kurgan in the Hero City of Volgograd. Russia hasn’t forgotten the great victory of Stalingrad… from that point forward, the Red Army was on the counterattack. This was the highwater mark of the Fascist advance. The Red Army didn’t rest until it planted the Victory Banner on the Reichstag. The world is a better place because of the Great Victory… never forget that.
