Kazakhstan: 'Selfie' statue removed after ridicule
A monument in Kazakhstan has been hastily removed after locals likened the
figures on it to hobbits taking a "selfie", reports say.
The statue in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk was built to honour two 19th
Century figures
- Abay Kunanbayev, a local writer and thinker, and Yevgeny Mikhaelis, a
Russian
scientist and pro-democracy activist who was exiled to eastern Kazakhstan.
But it
immediately attracted the scorn of locals who - according to Tengri News
website - took
to social media to point out that the figures looked like they were taking a
selfie. Other
people pointed out their similarity to hobbits, said the news website Nur.kz.
Even one of the co-authors of the monument, Vladimir Samoylov, admitted that
there
was something wrong with it. The sculptors were given too little time to
finish the
monument, he told YK.kz, a website based in Ust-Kamenogorsk. "We were in a
huge
rush, and look what happened."
Following the criticism, the monument was removed on 24 June, just one day
after it
was erected at the intersection of Abay Avenue and Mikhaelis Street. It "
deviated from
the agreed design", and the sculptors were told to correct the deviations as
soon as
possible, the local government told Tengri News. | C****t
