"The work of sculptor EV Vucetic and engineer N. Nikitin multimeter is a figure of a woman, shagnuvshey forward with his sword raised. The statue is an allegorical image of the motherland calling their sons into battle with the enemy. In the artistic sense, the statue is a modern interpretation of the image of the ancient goddess of victory Nike, which calls for their sons and daughters to fight back to the enemy, to continue the further offensive.
