The shadow casted on that hill (a kurgan) is from that gigantic figure:

Ok, quite easy!!!
Mamayev Kurgan, a hill overlooking the city of Volgograd (once known as Stalingrad), is the site of the Motherland Statue, which at 82 meters was the tallest in the world when it was finished in 1967. A commemoration of one of the worst battles in human history, the Stalingrad memorial serves as a reminder of all who lost their lives in the Battle of Stalingrad, from 1942-43. This World War II battle was one of the bloodiest in history, with total casualties estimated at 2 million, and it ultimately saw the Soviets triumphing over Axis forces.
In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited
and found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some
of the great Close Combat mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank
all the members of our volunteer staff that have helped over
the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
