PERM, October 13 A monument to the skier, whom local residents considered the “husband” of Alenka from Novovoronezh, was erected in the Perm region.
“The day before, an art object “Skier” was installed in front of the building of the Snezhinka ski base. The unique sculpture was made by our talented fellow countryman, blacksmith master Anton Kiryakov,” stated on the page of the Kungur Municipal District on the VKontakte social network.
It is specified that the blacksmith dedicated his work to the 55th anniversary of the ski resort and to all ski lovers. The art object was named Platon Mikhailovich.
In local public pages, residents are actively discussing the sculpture, some compare it with the monument to the heroine of Russian fairy tales, Alenka, which was installed in Novovoronezh. Users also attach photos of the Novovoronezh “bride” under posts with the Kungur “Skier”.
The monument to Alenka, made using artistic forging, was erected in Novovoronezh in 2020. Residents then considered her to look like a horror movie character; later the image was spread into memes on social networks.
