Soviet

It's called Socialist Realism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_realism I don't think there are many published materials in English

Those soldiers were no angels

This one is definitely the coolest one in my opinion. I'd love to visit Volgograd some day to see it. This statue is part of a 3-part series depicting different stages of the Great Patriotic War (WW2).

The monument is composed of a worker and a warrior. The worker is oriented to the east, towards the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. The warrior is facing the west, to the side of the "Great Patriotic War".

The three monuments are made to symbolize the sword being forged in Magnitogorsk,

raised in The Motherland Calls in Volgograd (then Stalingrad)

and finally dropped to the ground after the victory in Berlin as a part of Warrior Liberator. The composition also includes a stone flower made from Karelian granite with an eternal flame.

Oh dang what the Greeks were going to rebuild Colossus of Rhodes before the economic crisis

20 million people (mainly civilians), not just soldiers, died in the fascist invasion of the USSR. It was a genocide. We're not taught this in the West.

I think the “over 1 million” here by OP is referring just to the battle of Stalingrad alone.

I think you mean nazification. Don't worry, the nazis there are being purged now.

I know you're joking but in case folks don't know, it's a Soviet grenade
