4. Monument to the alcohol machine

It turns out that even an alcohol machine can be immortalized in the monument! And then it will weigh 400 kilograms at a height of about 2 meters. The creation of the sculptor Nikolai Petrenko, worth to see it. The main figure in the composition is a mustachioed Ukrainian with a mug. Nearby there is a cat sculpture, emphasizing the family way of life. Behind them is the apparatus itself. But the sculptor could not establish his creation in the city – the local authorities did not allow it. Even the inscription “Drink, but do not get drunk” on the sculpture didn’t help and the officials considered that the monument stimulates drunkenness. This dispute is not over, and therefore the monument is not on the street, but in the building of the restaurant “Rosava”. Here it plays the role of a fountain, and vodka is used instead of water.
