Why is Pushkin for Latvia “ridiculous, funny, humiliating”?

[Methuselah]

We have a Russian sculpture and will keep it, because Sovjet Union is part of our social memory. You can like it or hate it, but memories don't disappear and good so.




World peace (statue)
A statue sculpted by Oleg Kirjuhin in Helsinki

World Peace is a bronze sculpture donated by the city of Moscow to the city of Helsinki, sculpted by sculptor Oleg Kirjuhin. It is located in Hakaniemenranta and was unveiled on January 14, 1990, two months after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In return, the City of Helsinki donated the sculpture Children of Peace by sculptor Antti Neuvonen to the city of Moscow.

The statue is 6.5 meters high. In it, people representing different continents support the earth with leaves with one hand. With their free hands, the figures of the statue have clenched their fists, allowing them to demonstrate for world peace.

World peace has sparked debate in Finland. In 2008, it was chosen as both the third ugliest and third most beloved statue in Helsinki in newspaper reader polls. [1] [2]

The statue will have to be moved due to the relocation of the Hakaniemi bridge and the construction of Hakaniemenranta. The design competition was decided in the spring of 2018, and the town plan was decided in early 2019. [3]

Crazy times.

You can also see this content in Prague or Brussels, so this content is not as controversive as you think

Very authoritative countries. Let's set up several similar monuments in different countries and well advertise them - and now people are beginning to consider vulgarity and degradation the norm.
When this happens, then the Satanists already in power.

Why is it so hard for Russians to understand that Balts simply does not want to be like you. Just let other people be what they want to be. It's not your land after all. This is not about few monuments here and there.

Local aborigines left the forests and settled in Russian cities - Riga, Revel, Helsingfors ... And now they believe that this land belongs only to them. It always happens when one people cedes to another their houses, plants and factories, power plants and other infrastructure.

But it does not at all follow from this that we have forgotten everything. Not at all. We remember, we remember everything. And former local forest residents are aware of this. They know that Russians always come back for their own. And they are afraid. Dalia Grybauskaite is also afraid (the former secretary of the Communist Party of Lithuania and secret KGB officer Daria Gribova), other balts with surnames that end in -s are also afraid.

Their future is a complete assimilation and total oblivion of the fact that once upon a time there lived not so much "proud" as a very, very narrow-minded people. This is precisely their nightmare and, therefore, their best punishment.
The Soviet Union naturally "pulled out by ears" wild Swedish-German swineherds into civilization, making them a "showcase of socialism." Because they themselves are not capable of civilization, but are only able to cross to the more "rich" side at the moment.
The experiment was unsuccessful, and - now the pendulum swung in the other direction. Paraphrasing the Bible - they got out of the shit, again into the shit and will return. Amen.

^WTF Riga was firstly Teutonic and Tallinn was firstly Danish city. The only reason Russians were developing this area was something that Russians really need cough cough access to the sea(which is not frozen for most part of year) cough cough
Estonia is developing better than Russia and Balts are not "German-Swedish swineherds" even genetics prove it

lol, then why Nakhodka on the Sea of Japan is ugly as fuck, whereas Riga has West European architecture?

I have wondered why very capable people are not able to found modern industry. Obviously people have to move away from their comfort zone and it is easier said than done if you can sell crude oil, which isn't inventive or advanced work. Oil sellers have had golden times, but this won't last forever. There is also another issue that needs to be taken into account. The world will be divided again into two power blocks. How does Russia survive and avoid becoming a China's raw material supplier and falling into a bad situation in which China sets prices on the basis of African markets.

Hard to expect that nation that has been opressed by another countries so long would be able to create their own cultural achievement

^WTF Riga was firstly Teutonic

Okey.

Yurmala. Another example of "free" art.
