The defeat of the Nazi troops on the banks of the Volga River signaled a radical change in the course of the Great Patriotic War and World War II as a whole. The Soviet Army began to drive the enemy from Soviet territory. It seized the strategic initiative and never lost it until the final defeat of Nazi Germany.
The victory in the Battle of Stalingrad boosted the international prestige of the Soviet Union, added fresh impetus to resistance movements in the occupied countries of Europe and
inspired respect and admiration for the Soviet people among millions of people abroad.
Mamaev Kurgan is the dominant hill of the city. During the battle it was the site of heavy fighting. The defenders of Stalingrad dubbed it Russia's main height. They took oaths here: "Not a single step back!", "There is no land for us behind the Volga", "To fight to the bitter end!". For nearly 140 days and nights the enemy stubbornly fought to take over the height. The top of the hill changed hands many times, but was not surrendered. It became black and the soil was mixed with iron fragments and blood.
After the war the Mamaev Kurgan hill was restored to life. All the mines and unexploded shells and bombs were removed, parks and boulevards laid out, and a grandiose sculptural ensemble was erected to immortalize the feat of the participants of the Battle of Stalingrad

TO THE HEROIC DEFENDERS OF THE CAUCASUS

The battle for the Caucasus (July 25, 1942 - October 9, 1943) ended in the crushing defeat of a major enemy grouping and disrupted the enemy's plans to wipe out Soviet troops in the Caucasus, capture the rich grain regions and oil deposits and penetrate the Middle East.
One of the major battles took place at the ancient Elkhotovo Gates , near the village of Elkhotovo, on the right bank of the Terek River. On September 27, 1942, Nazi troops took over the village. On the same day defenders of the Elkhotovo Gates beat off six enemy attacks. Raids of Nazi aircraft and tank attacks continued day and night. The Soviet units safely blocked the direct road to Grozny and Baku. The Nazis had lost several thousand soldiers and hundreds of tanks before they realized they could not break through the defense. In 1975 a monument was unveiled at the Elkhotovo Gates in honor of their defenders. The authors of the monument are architect Z. Kazbekov and sculptor V. Totiev

AUSTRIA

Soviet troops entered the Austrian capital of Vienna on April 13. The Viennese welcomed them in. The tempestuous advance of the Soviet troops saved one of the most beautiful cities of Europe. Thanks to the Soviets, the Imperial Bridge still hangs over the Danube River, and many treasures of architecture, including the St Stephan Cathedral, can still be seen in Vienna.
But many thousands of Soviet troops were killed in combat engagements on Austrian territory. A monument to the liberators of Austria stands at Schwarzbergplatz downtown Vienna. A bronze soldier holds an automatic rifle and a banner. The marble foundation features what the supreme commander of the Soviet armed forces had to say about the capture of Vienna and lists the servicemen who gave their lives for the liberation of the capital of the Austrian republic. The monument was unveiled on May 8, 1949. It was made by sculptor Intizaryan and architect Yakovlev.

GERMANY

The Soviet troops were ordered, in mid-April, to seize Berlin. What is known as their Berlin operation was launched on April 16. On April 25 the Soviets surrounded and dismembered the Berlin Army Group of the Nazis. They fell on Berlin on April 26. Fierce fighting went on in every street and in every house till May 2. Nazi Germany surrendered on May 9. The Soviet Union won what it calls its Great Patriotic War.
There are several monuments to the heroic Soviet troops in Germany. A large memorial complex can be seen in the Treptov Park of Berlin. There is a 13-meter bronze statue; the Soviet soldier holds a small girl, and, in his right hand, the sword with which he has broken the Nazi swastika

Whoever wrote this article, as interesting as it is has their facts a little skewed:

The city of Vienna did not "welcome" the Soviets except with bombs and bullets. In fact, Austria was a willing member of Hitler's Third Reich and actually had more Nazi Party members per capita than Germany itself.

The author talks about "liberation" of Austria, but the only thing that the Austrians were liberated from were themselves.

Having visited Vienna, I did see the monument and was told by a local guide that this is something laughed at by most Viannese to this day and the only reason it remains is so that the Russians don't get mad.

There were also Soviet monuments all over Hungary...since the fall of the communist bloc, some of the best examples have been relegated to a little known place outside of Budapest; "Statue Park" (in Hungarian "Szoborpark") See it at www.szoborpark.hu

That site was in Hungarian. Maybe you can post a pic of the place.

I did see Heros Square in Budapest. A rather amazing site it was.
