Korean bros, a sitcom about the PVZ, and the sacred Gagarin: #ShameReview from "NotMoscow"
In the latest edition of "#ShameReview," the NeMoskva editorial team has compiled the most absurd and surreal news stories of the week. This review includes a mural featuring North Korean soldiers, a sitcom about order pickup points, an electrician being hounded over Kolobok, and Gagarin with a halo instead of a helmet.
North Korean troops in Vladivostok and a sitcom about the PVZ
A mural honoring North Korean soldiers has appeared directly on the Golden Bridge support in Vladivostok. The centerpiece depicts two soldiers shaking hands—a Russian marine and a North Korean soldier.
According to the project's creators, this art object became a "sign of respect" for the contribution of the allies who fought shoulder to shoulder with Russian soldiers. Furthermore, according to the creators, the image symbolizes the "alliance and mutual understanding" between Russia and North Korea.
Consequently, Russian cinema is keeping up with these trends. Plans are underway to produce a sitcom, "PVZ," entirely dedicated to the work of order pickup points. Gazprom-Media CEO Alexander Zharov officially announced this.
I think it's a never-ending theme. It's a sitcom that could go on for 100, 200, 300 episodes. Something's always happening.
However, in reality, events at marketplace logistics facilities are anything but comedic, including regular drone attacks on Wildberries warehouses.
The Kolobok Scandal and Saint Gagarin in Zaryadye
Meanwhile, an online scandal erupted over the behavior of Anton Maslov, the director of the film "The Last Knight: Kolobok." When a viewer asked why the main character was so poorly drawn, the director tracked down the critic's personal Telegram channel. Maslov then began publicly posting that the man, who works as an ordinary electrician, allegedly does a poor job and "no one should hire him."
Actor Dmitry Zhuravlev, who played one of the main roles, also joined in the harassment. He stated on social media that the specialist "objectively ran a scam" and that "their communications were terribly conducted."
Additionally, the exhibition "Traditional Values. Faith" has opened in Moscow's Zaryadye Park. This is the second exhibition in a large-scale series of five exhibitions: "Life," "Faith," "Family," "Truth," and "Fatherland."
However, the most notable work in the exhibition was a painting by the art group Doping Pong, titled "Gagarin." It depicts the first cosmonaut with the planet Earth above his head, visually reminiscent of a holy halo. As the exhibition staff thoughtfully explain, "Gagarin is also a faith."
