The girl who “ticked up” the Motherland Mother Monument to the comic story was sentenced to 10 months of correctional labor

The court in Volgograd sentenced Alena Agafonov from Samara to 10 months of correctional labor, which published a video where she “touches” the breasts of the sculpture “Mother Mother”. As RIA Novosti reports , she was found guilty of the rehabilitation of Nazism.

In July last year, the girl shot a comic video. Later it was published in his Telegram channel by a pro-Russian blogger from Crimea Alexander Talipov, and then it spread through Z-Pliks and channels, causing a violent reaction of the public.

Agafonova later published on her Instagram page an apology post and gave an interview with Gazeta.ru. She said that “in no case did not want to abuse” over the monument or “laugh at the history of the country” and the victims of the war. Despite public apologies, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs in Volgograd emphasized that they were not going to terminate the case.

“Mother Mother's Motherland is calling”-one of the highest monuments in the world: the total height of the monument reaches 85 meters. The monument is completely made of reinforced concrete. The sculpture was built in 1959-1967 as part of the memorial complex "Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad." It belongs to the second part of the triptych, also consisting of the “rear-front” monuments in Magnitogorsk and the “warrior warrior” in the Berlin Park.
