- This was the view from one of my client's I visited this week. You can see the Dnipre river to the right and the Mother Motherland statue (our otherwise called Big Mamma). It was built from titanium and stands 62 meters tall (203 ft). In her right hand is a 16m sword (52.5 ft) and in her left hand is a 13m by 8m (43 ft by 26 ft) shield with the coat of arms of the Soviet Union. The sculpture is part of the Museum of the Great Patriotic War (which interestingly is what they call the 2nd World War).
