The statue of the motherland mother in Volgograd. Height, comparison with freedom, christ, buddha

Volgograd, May 8 - AIF-Volgograd. FIDIA, PRACTEL, Rodgen - these names know the whole world. Thanks to the masterful turtle on hearing the name of the sculptor Donatello. But in our history were their brownies, who received universal recognition. So, in Volgograd, for example, there are works of Faith Muchina (at the departure of the planetarium) and Evgenia Vuchetich (Mamaev Kurgan and the Lenin Statue (until 1960 - Stalin) on the Fadeev Embankment).

We are on the envy of all bourgeois ...

By the way, Vuchethich is the author of two statues of the Mother Motherland. The central figure of the Memorial at Mamaev Kurgan, perhaps, the peak (in all values) of the creativity of the famous sculptor. Here the giantism of thinking is fully presented.

"What did we want to tell people with this monument on the place of the bloody battles and immortal feats? - he said after the end of construction architectural ensemble. - We are sought to convey, first of all, the disadvantageous moral spirit of Soviet soldiers, their selfless devotion to the Motherland. The monument to the heroes of the Stalingrad battle is a monument to the greatest historical event. And therefore we were looking for large-scale, especially monumental solutions and forms that, in our opinion, would allow the most fully transmitting the scope of mass heroism. "

However, the size of the complex is due not only to the author's vision, but also by direct indication of Khrushchev: Mother Mother must be higher than the American Statue of Freedom. Above, it means above. Business ...

Sisters in arms

Already after the death of Evgenia Vuchetich, the construction of the second Mother Motherland was completed: in Kiev. The statue itself is less than Volgograd, but it stands on a 40-meter pedestal, within which the museum is located. Therefore, the colossus is seen from afar.

Initially, the figure was planned to cover with gravestone gold, but then they refused from this idea. In general, the project of Vuchetich has undergone some changes, since after his death the Kiev Master Vasily Boroday, who had his own vision.

Constructed a metal statue using a crane specially made under this construction. To the object of the object, that crane did not have time to dismantle and simply cut the autogen. And the ends are in the water. Literally: Metallic cores drowned in the Dnieper, so as not to call the eyes of the party bosses.

Sometimes the Volgograds and Kiev residents argue, whose homeland is better. Residents of other cities of Russia and Ukraine are drawn in the controversy. Sculptures are broken into politics. But both facilities will have their own admirers. In addition, both Mothers have one father: Evgeny Vuchetich. Yes, and he designed his statues not in order to burst the peoples. After all, the Motherland at that time was for all alone. And both "daughters" of vuchetich, it seems, calmly and friendly look at each other. They are visible from above ...

Its height is 182 meters.

In India, on the island of Sadhu Beth in Gujarat, the highest high statue In the world - a statue of unity.

Its height is 182 m and it is higher than the statue of Christ in Brazil (38 m), a statue of freedom in the United States (93 m) and "Motherland" in Kiev (102 m).

The statue of Christ-Savior - in Ukrainian colors. In Rio de Janeiro, the famous sculpture shine yellow-blue. In the colors of the Ukrainian flag, Brazilians highlighted it especially for the independence of our state. Do this for 5 years in a row. Especially, they say, in the Ukrainian diaspora holiday the other day double. After all, they also celebrate the day of the Ukrainian community.

"15 years of search and doubts, sadness and joy, rejected and found solutions. What did we want to tell people by this monument on the historic Mamaev Kurgan, on the site of bloody battles and immortal feats? We sought to convey, first of all, the disadvantageous moral spirit of Soviet warriors, from the selfless devotion of the Motherland, "said the Great Soviet sculptor at the opening of the memorial Evgeny Vuctech.

Before building a memorial, the peak of Kurgan was the terrain located 200 meters from the current vertex. Now it is located the temple of all saints. The current vertex formed artificially to build a monument.

At the design stage, Vuchetich constantly made changes. Initially, the project assumed the presence of two figures (a woman and a cranked soldier), and in the hand of the mother-mother-mother should not keep a sword, but a red banner. But they refused him, as from the magnificent decorated pedestal. The monumental stairs, which have already been built, were replaced by a carriage-serpentine, which like a tape is looking for a statue. The dimensions changed and the size of the mother rose from 36 meters to 52. Although the plan of the sculptor is not here, just Nikita Khrushchev said in an ultimative form that it should certainly be higher than the Statue of Freedom.

Mamaev Kurgan, on which the monument is located, has always been a strategic object, a panorama of the city has opened. Of the 200 days of the Stalingrad battle, the struggle for Mamaev Kurgan lasted 135 days. He and in the snowy course remained black: the snow here quickly melted from breaking bombs. Every square meter accounted for 500 to 1250 bullets and fragments. In the first post-war spring, Mamaev Kurgan was not conceded, even her grass has not grown in the burnt ground.

According to the most modest calculations, about 35 thousand people were buried at Mamaev Kurgan. On the spot of this huge fraternal grave And built the main monument of Russia.

Mother's motherland is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest sculpture of the statue in the world. Its total height is 85 meters, weight - 8 thousand tons. The most complex calculations of the stability of this design did the Doctor of Technical Sciences Nikolai Nikitin (he also participated in the design of Moscow State University and the Ostankino Tower). On the this moment The statue ranks 11th in the list of the highest statues of the world. The highest sculpture was built in 2008. This is the statue of Buddha in the Chinese province Henan, her height together with the pedestal - 153 meters.

A sword is 33 meters long and a weight of 14 tons was originally made of stainless steel, covered with titanium sheets. But the wind of the sheets of titanium shells thundered, and additionally loaded the hand. As a result, the blade was replaced by another - entirely consisting of fluorinated steel.

During the construction of the monument, a stable supply of concrete was needed, otherwise the seams between the layers could not be durable. Trucks that carried out the delivery of concrete for the construction of the monument were marked with ribbons of a certain color. Drivers were allowed to pass "on red", the traffic police were forbidden to stop them.

From the foot to the top platform leads 200 degrees, by the number of days of the Stalingrad battle. Inside the statue itself, it also had to be 200 degrees. But at the expense of the spans, their number increased to 203.

The entrance to the outsiders is strictly prohibited, which is why it covered with rumors and riddles. Many people think that in the mouth there is an observation deck, and closer to the ear restaurant for VIP persons. However, it is not. According to another legend, soon after the creation in the sculpture, a person was lost, after that no one had seen him.

At the monument on Mamaev Kurgan - a fighter with a machine gun and a grenade and the inscription on the pedestal "stand to death!" Marshal's face of the Soviet Union Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov. He was the main military consultant of the Memorial. According to the will of the commander of the 62nd Army buried on Mamaev Kurgan.

According to the memories of the Soviet physics, Academician Andrei Sakharov, Evgeny Vuchetich, the author of the memorial ensemble heroes of the Stalingrad battle at Mamaev Kurgan in Volgograd, shared with him in a private conversation: "I am asked the authorities, why did she open with her mouth, because it is ugly. I answer: And she screams - for the homeland ... Your mother! "

The monument is the second part of the triptych, which also consists of the "Rear-Front" monuments in Magnitogorsk and the "Warrior-Liberator" in the Berlin Trept-Park. It is understood that the sword, stitched on the shore of the Urals, then raised his mother's mother in Stalingrad and lowered after the victory in Berlin.

The silhouette of the sculpture "Motherland" was taken as a basis for developing the coat of arms and the flag of the Volgograd region.

On May 9, 2045, a capsule was opened in Volgograd to the 100th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Mamaev Kurgan with the appeal of the participants of the war to descendants.

There is another motherland-mother - in Kiev, it is also the creation of a voutis. Stands on the right bank of the Dnieper. She is 23 meters less than his companion, however, standing on a huge pedestal, within which the museum is located. Due to this, the total height of it above.

In Moscow, there is a copy of the head of the Volgograd Motherland's Motherland. She hides behind the fence of the workshop of a verticious street on the street.

Perhaps the biggest riddle - from whom they left the motherland mother, challengers are enough. 79-year-old resident of Barnaul Anastasia Peshkov on the eve of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the victory near Stalingrad announced that she became a prototype of the famous sculpture of Vuchetich. In 2003, Valentina Isotova made the same statement. She worked as a waitress in the "Volgograd" restaurant and argued that she was invited to work in a simulator himself. "I paid 3 rubles per hour. There is a lot of me from me - the neck, sons of hands, legs, hips - all my! " - said Isota. Another contender - Ekaterina Grebneva, a sports gymnast, and now a well-deserved teacher in pensions. She also posed for anybody, but does not claim uniqueness: "This collective image. I think that I did not have one posing for sculptors. "

However, the former deputy director of the monument of the ensemble "Heroes of the Stalingrad Battle" Valentina Koshenda of all the contender calls the impostors: "Figure Yevgeny Viktorovich did with Nina Dumbadze, a famous discolkie. She posed him in Moscow, in his workshop. But behind the face of the sculpture of Evgeny Viktorovich is not going to go far Became. He created him with a spouse - faith of Nikolaevna. And sometimes she called the sculpture with the name of his wife - Verochka. "

Made of pre-stressed reinforced concrete - 5,500 tons of concrete and 2400 tons of metal structures (without base on which it stands).

The overall height of the monument is 87 meters. It is installed on a stove with a height of only 2 meters, which rests on the main foundation of 16 meters high, most of which is hidden under the ground.

The height of a female figure is 52 meters (mass - over 8 thousand tons). Statue stands statue standing freely on the plate, like a chess piece on the board. Inside, the whole statue consists of individual cell cells. The rigidity of the frame is supported by 99 metal cables constantly in tension.

Competition without borders. The victory in the Stalingrad battle has become a turning point in the history of the Great Patriotic War. The competition for the creation of a monument in Stalingrad was announced in September 1944. Well-known architects participated in it, and soldiers sent their sketches by military field mail. Architect George Marcinkevich offered to put a high column with a figure of Stalin at the top, and Andrei Burov is a 150-meter pyramid with a frame of composhable tanks.

Projects came even from abroad - from Morocco, Shanghai. Interestingly, the competition did not take the participation of the future creator of the Motherland Evgeny Vucheth. There were legends that he discussed his project directly with Stalin.

Changes in the composition. The sculptural composition should have looked different. It was assumed that next to the female figure will be the statue of a cranked soldier, stretching his mother's mother's sword. However, the initial composition of the monument seemed to Evgeny to march too complicated. He changed the project after approval from above. The sculptor had an important ideological argument: the soldier could not convey his sword to anyone, because the war was not over yet.

Who was the prototype? Art historians agree that Eugene Vuchetich inspired the bas-relief "Marselyza" in the Parisian Arc and an antique sculpture of Samofraki. However, who concretely posted him, it is not known specifically. It is most likely that the shape of Mother's Mother's sculptor sculptor from the Soviet athlete-Discolki Nina Dumbadze, and face with his wife faith. Today the mock of the head of the statue is kept in the Museum-Manor of Vuchetich in Moscow.

First reinforced concrete monument. Mother Mother became the first monument in the USSR fully made from reinforced concrete. In the 1960s, after the war, many more cities were not rebuilt, including Volgograd, and reinforced concrete was one of the cheapest materials. However, this choice caused some difficulties. For example, one year after the opening of the monument, small cracks began to form on it. In order to preserve the monument, the head and the sculpture hands are covered annually with a water-repellent means.

Strengthening design. All engineering calculations were performed under the leadership of Nikolai Nikitin, which was built by the Ostankino television bash. The monument "Motherland-Mother calls!" When erected, it was not fixed: it stands on Earth due to its own weight. Metal ropes are stretched inside the statue, which make it more stable and maintain the rigidity of the metal frame. Today, sensors are installed on the cables, experts follow the structure of the design.

Monument of the era of three secrets. Although the contest of architectural projects was held in the 1940s, work on the monument began after Stalin's death. The construction order signed Nikita Khrushchev in January 1958. The monument was erected for almost ten years - it was opened in October 1967. At the opening, the Secretary General of the Central Committee of the CPSU was also present - at the time already Leonid Brezhnev.

The highest statue of the world. It was planned that the height of the mother's motherland would be 36 meters. However, Khrushchev ordered a "rest" a female figure. The statue at Mamaev Kurgan was to "overtake" a statue of freedom - its height without a pedestal was 46 meters.

After the end of the construction of the motherland, the mother was the highest statue in the world. The female figure towers over the pedestal of 52 meters, and taking into account the length of her hands and the sword, the height of the monument was 85 meters. Weight monument 8 thousand tons excluding a sword. Today, the mother-mother-mother stays in the top ten of the highest statues of the world.

Steel Sword. The statue sword was made on aviation technology. It was made of stainless steel and were trimmed with titanium sheets. But such a decision was not suitable for the monument - the sword was swinging and creaked in the wind. In 1972, weapons were replaced with steel with holes to reduce sailing. Because of the "problematic" sword, the designers of the monument did not receive the Leninist Prize. Monument "Motherland-Mother calls!". Sculptor Evgeny Vuchetich, architect Nikolai Nikitin.

The image of the "Mother Motherland". The collective image of the mother's motherland appeared on campaign posters back in 1941. They were created by the Soviet painter Irakli Tidze. The artist recalled that his wife became the prototype of a woman on a poster. Hearing a message about the attack on the USSR, she ran into the artist's workshop with a cry of "War!". Irakli Tidze was shocked by her expression and immediately made the first sketches.

The statue of the Motherland-Mother Monument, which is in Volgograd, recognizes the highest in Europe and Russia. The element of the composite center is the second part of the triptych to which the elements include such elements as: the Magnitogorsk "Rear Front" and the Berlin "Military of the Liberator".

The general picture implies a sword made in the Ural Mountains raised to protect the fatherland near Stalingrad and lowered after the capitulation of the fascist command in the capital of Germany.

Monument is located on Mamaev Kurgan Almost in the center of Volgograd. It is located near the coast of the Volga and River Station. The location of the face to the northeast involves the appeal to the Fatherland with a call to stand on the struggle against the hated enemy trying to destroy everything on its path.

The elevation, which became the location of the monument, according to the legends, is the place of grave the Golden Horde Maama. This is confirmed by numerous archaeological finds made before the war.

Daily battles have continued here from September 1942. In January 1943, about 34,000 soldiers died here. That's why this place And it was chosen to build sculpture.

The author's idea of \u200b\u200bthe monument "Motherland-Mother calls" in Volgograd

The idea to perpetuate the place that became a turning point during the Second World War at the Supreme Commander, appeared before her end. Already at the end of 1944, a competition was announced to determine the appearance of the monument.

Not only Soviet architects and ordinary people took part in it, the variations came from foreign countries: Morocco and China. The variants depicting Stalin and the pyramid from the integrated tanks acting as the basis were rejected. As a result, the version of the sculptor Evgenia Viktorovich Vuchetich, which is called "Mother's Mother", was chosen.

The history of the construction of the monument "Motherland-Mother calls"

The statue of "Mother's Mother" in Volgograd, whose height allowed her to get into the Guinness Book of Records, was built by almost the Soviet Union. As an example, the memories of the working one of the Ural Metallurgical Plants can be given "" By learning that our metal will go to the manufacture of the frame of the monument, although it will be necessary to work in 2 shifts, we disadvantaged. "

The presented example is not united. At the stage of fillings, the shapes, any simple could cause the setting of concrete and the formation between the layers of the microde. To prevent this, cars delivering the material were marked with special ribbons, allowing to pass "on the red" light of the traffic light.

The construction of the monument was started in the summer of 1959. It lasted it for 8 years and ended in the fall of 1967. For it was used a large number of Building material, as a result of which the walls of the pedestal with a thickness of 0.3 m. The foundation, fully poured into the ground at the base, is inhibited by 15 m. For which it was diverted with more than 8 m.

In total, it was spent:

Concrete - 5500 tons.
Metal structures and fittings - 2,500 tons.

The main persons, the sculptor E. V. Vuchethich and the engineer N. V. Nikitin, under whose leadership a lot of other specialists opened in various directions.

For example:

Musical accompaniment and sounding of each sculptural composition of the ensemble on Mamaev Kurgan - Dictaur A. I. Levitan, sound engineers A. I. Geraskin, director V. K. Maheoev.
Consultant for military topics Marshal of the USSR, who took direct participation in the defense of Stalingrad - V. I. Chuikov.

Priming statue

The statue of the Motherland-mother in Volgograd, the height of which was an absolute record of that time partially reminds the face of the sculptor's spouse.

There is an opinion that other people and antique figures were inspired by the author:

Girls who posted to him, but not suspect for what purposes: A. A. Peshkova; V. Isotova; E. Grebneva.
Athlete Discolk Nina Dumbadze, with whom he sculpted the figure.
The figure "Mosselase", printed on a triumphal arch in Paris.
Antique self-defraquist statue.

Whose image, in fact, Evgeny Viktorovich took as a pre-edge, no one knows. The author died at the age of 65, 7 years after the opening of his sculpture.

Elimination of lablems of construction

Concerning the stability of the design appeared at the construction stage. 2 years before the end of the commission, the commission from the Gosstroy recommended the management of strengthening the soil from the fear of "slipping" to the river bank. As a result, capital additional reinforcement and concreting on the basis of the statue was performed.

A year after the discovery, another problem appeared. The Sword of the statue made of stainless steel and the titanium sheets were made with errors in the calculations. The wide web was the reason for the appearance of excessive voltage, as a result of which swinging occurred. For winter, the metal was deformed and began to make a sharp creaking sound.

The decision was made only in 1972.

The sword was replaced with a new, cast at the local Metallurgical Plant "Red October". Now it was made of steel. Sailing was reduced by adding holes at the top. Another survey of 1986 revealed a number of deviations from the specified parameters. According to the recommendations received, work was carried out to strengthen the isow and facade.

A key error during the construction was not made by the fault of the architect and workers. "Mother-mother" was built into a difficult time for the country. Many cities have not yet been restored from Ruins, so all funds were aimed at construction, and not to develop new innovative technologies to improve the quality of concrete.

The result was periodic weathered and fine cracking of the structure under ultraviolet and strong steppe winds. Therefore, every year it is subject to small decorative repair.

Technical characteristics of monument

The base for the statue is a 2-meter pedestal based on a solid foundation. The hill on which it is located is formed artificially. Initially, the elevation was located on the spot where the church is.

Soil for embankments was transported on trucks within 1 month. According to the estimated data, more than 150 tons of land were delivered. The weight of the resulting structure of the statue is 8,000 tons of reinforced concrete.

The inner cavity is hollow, 119 metal cables are located here, each of which is designed to hold the load, equal to 60 tons. The purpose of the tension is the holding and rigidity of the entire design. The pretension control is carried out using sensors placed at the ends of stretch marks. Some of them are not whole, but are joined on intermediate floors, reinforcing concrete design.

The most complex design is located at the chest level of the monument. Mentioned steel cables distribute the structure of the design, tightening the weight of the hand weight of the monument. It should be noted that the clutch with the foundation "Motherland-Mother" does not have, thus, it holds like a chess figure, under its own weight.

Contrary to numerous speculations about the ever-existing elevator and a restaurant for VIP people and the observation platform, located in the head and sword - there is nothing here. Only the stairs can be closed in the upper part, with a height of 52 m, which has 203 steps. Most of the premises are small rooms with an area of \u200b\u200b3 * 3 m.

However, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe head and chest there are large 2 halls in which equipment that takes into account the oscillation of the structure is. You can only go to the head on a metal staircase installed vertically. To do this, you will have to overcome the mine with a diameter of no more than 1.5 m. The room has an output intended for industrial climbers. Two more are available in Ephesus.

Interesting facts about the monument "Motherland-Mother calls"

At the time of design, Vuchetich changed the concept of the project after it was approved. Initially, he suggested an option from two compositions: the warrior stands on his knees before her knees, stretching her sword.

The ideological considerations of Yevgeny Viktorovich were based on the fact that the soldier cannot give his weapons, as the war is not over. This is not the only deviation from the planned project.

A number of changes were gradually introduced that few people know:

Starting from 1966, the statue began to deviate from its initial position. However, the calculated information show that there is nothing critical in excess of permissible standards. For example, in the period from 2000 to 2008. She shifted to 16 mm. The design features of the project suggest and allow the deviation from the vertical axis by 272 mm.

One of the most unique buildings of Russia throughout the history of existence pursue various legends and stories. If one of them are real, then a number of others are simply fiction.
