The underground photo reminds me of the Eastern end of the Central line, but I can't think where.

That’s the closest guess so far.

I'm guessing that the inset is one of Dimitri's Balkan pictures. The clothing looks a little strange as in many Soviet-era memorials, the figures are wearing helmets. Perhaps somewhere in the Former Yugoslavia?

The inset is one of Dmitri's photos, but it's not in the former Yugoslavia. Based on location and subject matter it's probably Soviet era but I don't know that. (click for a larger version)

The inset is certainly a WW2-era USSR-inspired war memorial but since it's not an especially large one, it would probably be a provincial one rather than one from say, Stalingrad or one of the other major battlefields. It isn't especially stylized in the way that many of the non-soviet Warsaw Pact memorials were so I would say it comes from a small town somewhere in present-day European Russia or Belarus.
I suspect that unless someone has actually seen this statue, that the chances of it being identified are vanishingly small.
