The lens captured the Alley of Heroes, the Church of Alexander Nevsky, and the Eternal Flame. The reflections of festive decorations and the play of light and shadow create the effect of a «lifelike» photograph, allowing one to almost physically feel the warmth of the flame and the aroma of incense.

The flame of the Eternal Flame on the Alley of Heroes creates a sense of living warmth.

The monument «The Motherland Calls» against the dark sky seems painted, and snowflakes only emphasize this illusion. The figures of people at the base look like miniature dark spots. The Hall of Military Glory with the Eternal Flame and the names of heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad carved in granite resembles an artistic canvas.

Mamayev Kurgan continues to attract visitors even during night hours.
