| Reverse description | The reverse features a high-relief depiction of the famous sculpture 'Stand to the Death' (Стоять насмерть) from the Mamayev Kurgan memorial complex in Volgograd, portraying a heroic Soviet soldier rising from a rock, bare-chested and armed with a submachine gun, his figure dominating the central field. Ruined buildings and fortifications are rendered in low relief in the background to either side, evoking the devastated urban landscape of wartime Stalingrad. The commemorative legend 70-ЛЕТИЕ РАЗГРОМА СОВЕТСКИМИ ВОЙСКАМИ НЕМЕЦКО-ФАШИСТСКИХ ВОЙСК В СТАЛИНГРАДСКОЙ БИТВЕ curves around the upper and left periphery in Cyrillic, reading clockwise from the lower left. A five-pointed star appears at the bottom of the legend, serving as a decorative and symbolic stop. The design is executed in Proof finish with frosted devices contrasting against mirror-polished fields. |

| Additional information |
Issued on the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory at Stalingrad, this piece belongs to a long-running Bank of Russia commemorative program marking the major engagements of the Great Patriotic War. The battle itself lasted 199 days, from August 1942 to February 1943, and produced roughly 2 million casualties across both sides — still among the deadliest single engagements in recorded military history. German Field Marshal Paulus surrendered the encircled 6th Army on February 2, 1943, defying Hitler's direct order to fight to the last man.
