on April 29, 2005Statue of Motherland is nearly the same as Liberty, as you can see in figures:
Height with basement : Liberty is 93 m; Motherland is 89 m. But figure of woman is a little bit bigger: Liberty is 46,5 m with a torch, Motherland - 52 m w/o a sword.
Weight: Liberty - 225 tons (copper - 100 tons, steel - 125 tons), Motherland - 7900 tons (concrete - 5500 tons, steel - 2400 tons).
I've tryed to scale pix to the same scale to compare.
