A Battle that Changed History
Caracas is a city that in its more than 6 million inhabitants has a diversity and plurality that is really impressive, in its spaces coexist people from different regions of the world, who profess different religions and support diverse and political ideologies, sometimes one very distant than others but in general terms it is a capital where tolerance reigns, It is for this reason that throughout the length and breadth of its streets and walls we can find an enormous diversity of artistic samples, which each one with its characteristics seeks to tell us a story and undoubtedly convey an ideological message, but it was the judgment of each one to accept or not that opinion and at the same time it is our duty to respect it.

Una Batalla que Cambió la Historia
But undoubtedly one of the most diverse spaces that may exist within the city is located on Mexico Avenue, in the so-called cultural circuit of the city, as there proliferate street art, murals and various samples of artistic expression, some made anonymously, while others have the indelible mark of nationally and internationally recognized characters, which make this space a real canvas that over time has given us incredible images.
Pero sin duda alguna uno de los espacios más diversos que puedan existir dentro de la ciudad se ubica sobre la Avenida México, en el denominado circuito cultural de la ciudad, ya que allí prolifera el arte callejero, los murales y diversas muestras de expresión artística, algunas hechas de forma anónima, Mientras que otras tienen la huella indeleble de personajes reconocidos a nivel nacional e internacional, lo cual hacen de este espacio un verdadero lienzo que a lo largo del tiempo nos ha regalado imágenes increíbles.
In this opportunity the mural that I present to you is one of the newest works that the city of Caracas has, its inauguration took place on February 8 of this year with Venezuelan authorities and diplomatic representatives of the Russian federation, since it is a work allusive to the Soviet victory in the bloody battle Stalingrad, which undoubtedly put to test all the Soviet people, who sought to have completely the advance of the German army, which was achieved after 200 days of hard fighting where millions of people lost their lives, but that undoubtedly would change forever the course of World War II and consequently of modern history.
En esta oportunidad el mural que les presento es uno de los más nuevos trabajos con los que cuenta la ciudad de Caracas, su inauguración se dio el 8 de febrero de este año contó con autoridades venezolanas y representantes diplomáticos de la federación rusa, puesto que se trata de una obra alusiva a la victoria soviética en la sangrienta batalla Stalingrado, la cual sin duda alguna puso a prueba a todo el pueblo soviético, quienes buscaban de tener por completo la avanzada del ejército Alemán, lo cual se concretó después de 200 días de duros enfrentamientos en donde perdieron la vida millones de personas, pero que sin duda alguna cambiaría para siempre el rumbo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y en consecuencia de la historia moderna.
