Pushkina

cultural

The entity 'Пушкина' refers to a bronze statue of Alexander Pushkin that was stolen in Hemer, Germany, in July 2023. The sculpture, gifted by the Russian city of Shchelkovo as a symbol of friendship, was reportedly taken for financial gain rather than political motives. German authorities and Russian diplomatic sources have condemned the theft as an act of vandalism contrary to principles of international goodwill.
