Muscovites Slam New Teacher Monument in Lyubertsy

Discussion of the new sculpture in Lyubertsy continues. Muscovites cannot come to terms with the teacher’s protruding nipples. However, what disturbs them now is not only that, but also the facial expression of the depicted woman.

“Scary eyes and a dreadful smile,” writes a reader of MSK1.RU.

“The face of this sculpture is like something from a horror movie,” commented a reader under the MSK1.RU article.

“It’s all fine! Now it will become a tradition: to pass an exam with a 5, you need to rub the breasts,” suggested one commentator to the students.

“A teacher doesn’t have time before class to take selfies. A scary auntie turned out,” believes a commentator.

One of the townspeople was outraged not only by the appearance but also by the presence of a phone in the sculpture.

“What bothers me more is the phone. Where is the logic? Children are forbidden from having phones so they don’t get distracted, but a teacher, it seems, is allowed. So what will a teacher teach if they themselves are on the phone?” wonders the author of the comment.

Another reader of MSK1.RU is sure that the issue is not with the nipples and face, but with the talent of the author who did the work.

“What, don’t teachers have nipples? Or haven’t your kids seen everything in detail on the internet yet? And the sculpture is frankly vulgar and scary, but not because of the nipples, but because of the lack of talent of the author. Another piece of junk,” considered a Muscovite.

“«Teacher» exclusively because there is an explanation of who it is. Without explanation—this is a blogger with a face very far from beauty, who, while taking a selfie, shows that she has finally decided to at least learn Russian, not to mention literate writing. Next will be the multiplication table. Open the internet and see what beautiful, interesting, touching monuments stand to teachers. Where did «this», such a monster, come from?” expressed one of the readers under the article.

Earlier, the author of the work, Honored Artist of Russia, sculptor Alexander Rozhnikov, in a conversation with MSK1.RU, spoke in defense of the creation. He stated that the composition is dedicated to a modern teacher who works in the age of digital technology, therefore she is taking a selfie. Well, the presence of protruding nipples he also explained. Everything was told in detail in the material at the link.
