Understood. Should read the book anyway, its a testament to the horror the human mind can endure. The men (both sides) that fought at Stalingrad are the true heroes and that statue is a fitting tribute to their courage.

Im surprised no one got this. The statue, like the one in Yerevan was built as part of a memorial complex to the heroes of WW2. This particular one built in Stalingrad is the largest on account of the ferocity and importance of the battle that took place in and around that city. The statue is pointing westward, calling the Soviet people to expel the Nazi invader (coming from the West).
correct, she is facing West, there is a reason why, a very obvious reason and it hasnt got anything to do with capitalism or Poland. I'll give you guys one more day, your gonna be kicking yourself when you find out.
Indeed its 'Mother Russia' in Volgograd, former Stalingrad - is one of the biggest statues in the world (top 5). Where is she pointing with her left arm? - not pointing to Moscow....
I Robot

Cons: nothing major comes to mind.......could have been a little more deeper/philosophical I guess, but Im happy it wast coz it might have turned out like the Matrix sequels.
Verdict: Best Sci-Fi thriller EVER! A MUST-SEE!
9/10
