Please help identify this sculpture,its maker and its value

Hi All

I recently bought this strange small metallic sculpture from a second hand shop. It seems of Russian origin to me based on the carvings on it.I have taken multiple photos.Please help identify it, its markings,origin and its value.
thanks in advance!

We have a couple of Russian speakers here...
My guess, meanwhile --- some version of 'Winged Victory'... looks to me like pot metal, @1920?

 

The Russian word is Volgograd, and I assume that this piece represents the city in some way. Perhaps a souvenir? The word appears to be too prominent just to be the name of the place where it was made. Just as a guess, there may possibly be a statue in the city that looks like that???

Here is a Wikipedia article about the history of Volgograd. The city's name was changed to Volgograd by the Khrushchev administration in 1961, so your piece dates from 1961 or later.

I'll do a little more looking.

 

Here she is! https://www.google.com/search?q=vol...4CT4QsAQIKw&dpr=1#tbm=isch&q=volgograd+statue

The statue is called "The Motherland Calls" apparently. And according to this article, it may collapse into the Volga River!

The statue was apparently built in 1967, so your piece dates after that:

thanks Figtree and GaleriaGila!
It seems my piece has lost the sword..
But nice to know the origin and history all the same...I guess value wise it is just tourist souvenir?
Thanks

I think that's true.

 

Amazing work, Fig!
I was thinking of you when I first saw this item.
