Red Army Memorial in Vienna

You're standing on Schwarzenbergplatz in Vienna, in front of the Soviet War Memorial. Its formal name is the Heroes' Monument of the Red Army. Look at the centre first. There's a soldier there, twelve metres tall. He wears a golden helmet, holds a Soviet flag and carries a golden emblem of the Soviet Union. A submachine gun hangs across his chest. Around him curves a semi-circle of white marble columns, together with a triumphal arch.
