• Fatherland vs. Motherland

There is no word in Russian that actually means "motherland" (just really родина, which more correctly translates to something like "native land"). Отечество also is sometimes translated as "motherland", though more correctly it actually means "fatherland".

The word in German, I believe, is vaterland, and it actually means "fatherland".
