Монумент «Родина-мать зовет!» в символической политике современной России: взгляд из Дагестана

The article suggests the study of the meaning of the sculpture «The Motherland Calls!» for the Dagestanis as a result of the symbolic politics of modern Russia. Forms of inclusion and society's reaction to sculpture and the context of its inclusion in social discourse are considered. The work contains the comparative analysis of the attitude of the Dagestanis to the mother image of Russia and the sculpture «Motherland Calls!». The author comes to the conclusion that the Dagestanis as a whole perceive the sculpture «The Motherland -Calls!» as part of the common past with the rest of Russia; the contexts of inclusion of the sculpture in the public discourse correspond to the all-Russian; it is a patriotic discourse, a memory of victory in the war.
