You can actually pick out the statue of Lenin in the square, lower right of the first photo. It's at the west end of the couple of blocks that contain the museum and memorial for the battle.
You bugger, you... I thought that would be harder. Congratulations jagged ben Volgograd, Russia The "famous" location I referred to can be seen in the upper right hand corner. Mother Russia... The Russian version of the Statue of Liberty. Charlie
