Famous Russians unleashed fierce criticism of the sculpture to the Creator of the “Kalash”.
In Moscow opened a monument to famous Soviet and Russian designer Mikhail Kalashnikov, who in Russia, however, had to apply a crushing criticism.
It is reported that the total height of the monument is almost 10 meters: only the pedestal stands on four feet. It is a metal figure of Mikhail Kalashnikov’s legendary AK-47, which he himself created.
It is worth noting that not everyone in Russia was delighted from the monument to the famous countryman. The well-known Russian singer, the leader of the group “time Machine” Andrei Makarevich recalled in Facebook, how many have been killed in the human world from a Kalashnikov.
“Well. Monument To Kalashnikov. May we be proud of. If you calculate how many people on the planet killed of his weapons, you get millions. Although what is interesting – the war with the Nazis AK did not catch, came after. So where he defended the borders of our Motherland? In Afghanistan? In Georgia? In Ukraine? In Africa?). Why such a talentless, ugly sculpture? Even in Soviet times, this idol would not pass the Council. Well we are so disfiguring your city, shame before the whole world?” – written by the artist.
In a similar spirit spoke Russian opposition leader Dmitry Gudkov. On his page on Facebook he called the monstrous sculpture of a Kalashnikov.
He’s monstrous. As monstrous and all the other “gifts for the capital” from the court sculptors like the current Salavat Scherbakov. I’m not saying that the Kalashnikov monument — a monument to the murder weapon. Not saying that Kalashnikov has nothing to do with Moscow do nothing. Not even talking about that behind the monument is to complement his “earthly hemisphere” with George, is aimed a spear somewhere in the area of the United States.
