This is a low-angle, full-shot, black and white image of a monumental sculpture in Perm, Russia, dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. The sculpture, made of dark material, depicts three figures against a cloudy sky. In the center stands a tall, robed female figure, her face serene and her hands holding a shield. To her left, a male figure in military uniform with a cape is raising a sword above his head. To her right, another male figure, with his back to the viewer, raises one arm in a gesture of greeting or salutation, while holding a piece of cloth draped over his arm. The figures are positioned on tiered dark pedestals. The image captures the solemnity and power of the monument, emphasizing its verticality and the dramatic expressions of the figures. The cloudy sky adds a somber tone to the scene. The sculpture is located on the Perm I train station square.
