Mamaev Kurgan Historical-Memorial Complex to Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad.

Mamaev Kurgan was originally a Tatar burial mound ('kurgan'), although historians consider it is unlikely that it is the burial place of the Mongol-Tatar military commander Mamaev, even though legends and theories often claim the contrary. During the Second World War, the hill was marked on maps as 'Height 102.0' and became known as the Main Height of Russia.
