Maybe a monument to the medical workers. It looks like a rolled up stretcher in his left hand. Of course the right hand looks to he holding an item that may be a gun.

This would be a soviet stretcher bearer, aka a medic. In his left hand is indeed a stretcher, in his right hand he is holding his medics field pack and over his right shoulder is the soviet PPSh 41, the most mass produced weapon of its kind during WW2. The medal in the top left hand corner is the "Hero of the Soviet Union" medal, the soviet equivalent to the US "Medal of Honor". The title Hero of the S is the highest distinction in the soviet union.

From Beelitz-online:

Wladimir Borisowitsch Amokow was a military doctor in the Soviet armed forces stationed in East Germany from 1976 to 1994. He created this concrete statue in the early 80's, and it is near 4 meters high. The inscription on the base is reported as: "Eternal glory to the heroes and fallen for the freedom and independence of our homeland"

Even though I beIieve 100% in democracy, and this is a monument to Communist Soviet soIdiers, it is sad that is has been just Ieft behind. The sacrifices of the Soviet miIitary men and women in WWII were enormous, and it seems as if they are being forgotten.

Israel, that is not a very nice thing to say. The people had no choice on what they wanted as a government system so they were forced. They were not all bad people.

Ya! The USSR suffered the most casualties, lost the most property, and destroyred more German forces than any other nation during the Second World War. And even after all that, they still found a way to go toe-to-toe with the USA (whose only home losses occured at Pearl Harbour, which wasn't technically American soil yet).
