The central figure of the Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd is the sculpture "Motherland Calls!". The statue rises 52 m above the terrain. The hill on which there is a monument to the Motherland-Mother, in bulk - its height is about 14 meters. The height of Motherland with the sword taken into account is 85 meters: sculpture is one of the highest statues in the world. On both sides to the top of Mamayev Kurgan there are several paths, one of which is from the area of the Tribulation. Along the path there are several tombstones - the names of those who gave their lives in the battles near Stalingrad. There is also the grave of an unknown soldier. In total, 34 500 people, soldiers and ordinary people, who were heroes of their country during the war, were buried in the mound under the statue "Motherland Calls!"
Центровой фигурой Мамаева кургана в Волгограде является скульптура «Родина-мать зовет!». Статуя возвышается над местностью на 52 метра. Холм, на котором стоит памятник Родина-Мать, насыпной – его высота составляет примерно 14 метров. Высота Родины-матери с учетом меча равна 85 метрам: скульптура входит в число самых высоких статуй мира. С обеих сторон к вершине Мамаева кургана ведут несколько дорожек, одна из которых со стороны площади Скорби. Вдоль тропинки расположено несколько надгробных плит – на них имена тех, кто отдал свою жизнь в боях под Сталинградом. Есть здесь и могила неизвестного солдата. Всего в кургане под статуей «Родина-мать зовет!» захоронено 34 500 человек – солдат и простых людей, ставших в годы войны героями своей страны.
The person who I admire the most is Yuri Gagarin. He was born on the 9th March 1934, in Klushino Village, Smolensk Region. He is famous as the first man in the space.
Yuri Gagarin was born in peasant family. His father was a woodworker and his mother worked at the milk plant. In 1941 he went to school and the Great Patriotic War began. He had to break his studying off. In 1951 Yuri Gagarin entered the Saratov Industrial College. Three years later he came to Saratov Aeroclub. In 1955 Gagarin achieved success, graduated from the college with honors and he took a flight on the plane for the first time in his life.
After his graduation, Gagarin called up for the army. He was one of twenty candidates to fly into the space. Gagarin became one of three leaders in the first detachment. On the 12th April 1961 Yuri Gagarin became the first man who flew into the space by a launch vehicle called “Vostok-1”.
The reason I admire him because he is really courageous and brave.
