I believe you are talking about Socialist realism or possibly Brutalism(to be fair, Brutalism was made in the UK, but it was still popular in the USSR).

There was no special name for hero statues style, at least in the Soviet Union. "Socialist realism", according to Soviet official definition, was not a particular style but a general method (as they called it, but a more adequate translation would be "philosophy") in art. It applied to all art, not specially to hero statues. Here are some of the most famous examples:

The Motherland
The Motherland calls
Rabochiy & Kolhoznica

There is a lot of similarity with Nazi art as seen here, for example.

This style outlived Soviet Union by the way
