This rad statue, for the heroes of Stalingrad. Vasily Zaytzev is buried there.
And in true Soviet fashion, it's built over the top of an ancient Tatar burial mound.

Well given that there are thousands of Soviet dead entombed in that mound as well I'm willing to give the soviets a pass on making it a memorial.

You can still find bones and shell fragments there.
