These are a couple of pics of my Goddaughter and her fiance'. You can find these painted bison scattered all over the Oklahoma City area.

If that were in France, the first reaction for that stance would be "Joan of Arc," but I presume that it is someone else.

Excellent, Askar! But the one I saw was obviously painted more recently.

And I think that your statue is one of a soldier of the second world war.

Our soldiers are dressed identically, even if mine does not have a moustache. Yours has lost his rolled up sleeping bag (?) or whatever it is.

Don't puttees automatically indicate WWI?
(and what a thrill to be able to use a word like "puttees" in a sentence!)
I really like the way Rikita's statue is supported. Good photo, too. The Lenin statue or bust is a super picture. If you scroll down to Askar's soldier statue and stop just below his feet, it seems to be a toy soldier, rather than something large.
