A resident of St. Petersburg complained to the Ombudsman on the rights of the child on the statue of a naked David at St. Anne’s Church on Kirochnaya street.
“Medusa” quotes from the conversation of peterburjenki angry with the officials: “How was it possible to put this man without pants in the city center, near schools and churches? This giant spoil the historical appearance of the city and mutilates the souls of children!”.
The chaste lady was trying to explain that the Nude sculptures are in other areas of St. Petersburg from the founding of the city, but the indignant resident insisted that the statue of David should not be near the school.
Recall that in the framework of the exhibition “Michelangelo. The creation of the world” plastic 200-pound replica of the statue of David was installed in the yard of the Lutheran Church of St. Anne in may 2016. The organizers of the exhibition, in turn, responded to the indignation of residents and agreed to cover the nakedness of David. In the framework of “Dress up David” the townspeople were asked to send ideas.
