Hi Pedroski , sorry i dont have a link but it was on the Russia Today channel all last week . They have a documentary on Russian culture , lifestyle etc which is repeated every few hours throughout the day .

The monument is in Volvograd and is of absolutely immense size . The top climbers in Russia have a maintenance programme on it .... amazing , not for the faint hearted .... hope you can find it

 

P.S if i find it on again I'll give you a heads up

Thanks B2T - I'll do some more searching. I assume it's the 85m one?
