All Saint's Church — Local services in Ворошиловский район

Выделение именно христиан противоречит этой идее. Родина-мать должна любить и призывать к борьбе всех. Соорудите тогда уж мечеть, синагогу и т.д. Выделение какой-либо группы попирает саму идею этого грандиозного мемориала. По данным Википедии с обеих сторон погибло около полутора миллионов человек — больше современного населения Волгограда!
