Mother Russia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mother Russia is a national personification of Russia, appearing in patriotic posters, statues etc. In the Soviet period, the term Mother Motherland was preferred, as representing the multi-ethnic Soviet Union; still, there is a clear similarity between the pre-1917 Mother Russia and the Soviet figure, especially as depicted during and in the aftermath of the Great Patriotic War -- as the Second World War is known in Russia.

- Russia, a term of endearment

- "Mother Russia", a song from the album Turn Of The Cards by Renaissance
