"What is her face?"
However, even the Russians have asked what her face. Visually, it looks like Olenka in the Voronezh region, which was installed several years ago. The "article" was created for budget money, but officials do not see problems. "Even those who criticize, come and take a photograph on the background of this object - it will be such an additional object for which you can visit Kandalasha," - says the head of the district administration Yaroslav Shalagin.
Moreover, he cited the example that the Eiffel Tower in Paris was also criticized, but now it is a symbol of the French capital. And all those who criticize the mermaid do not understand contemporary art. However, he acknowledged that she "slightly shocks" at first sight. He also added that the state paid only delivery, installation and pedestal, and the sculpture was presented by the artist Vladimir Vasilyev.
