Motherland Monument dedicated to the Soviet mother-patriot
Motherland Monument dedicated to the Soviet mother-patriot, Soviet memorial in Žodzina, Belarus
The Motherland Monument is a stone sculpture in Žodzina featuring a female figure as its central form. The composition with its various elements creates a commanding presence in the industrial city.
The memorial was created by artists Andrey Zaspitski, Ivan Misko, and Nikolaj Ryžankov to honor Soviet mothers during wartime. It stands as a product of an era when women held a central place in Soviet visual culture.
The monument shows how Soviet artists connected motherhood with patriotism through stone. The figure and its surroundings reflect how women were portrayed as pillars of the nation during that period.
The memorial sits in central Žodzina and serves as a regular gathering point for ceremonies and events. Visitors can easily reach it and gain perspective on the city from this elevated location.
The architecture was designed by Aleg Trafimchuk and merges stone forms with maternal imagery in an unconventional way. This blend of artistic approaches shows a distinctive take on how Soviet monuments could communicate meaning.
