A giant straw figure of a woman made in Belarus for "Dazhynki"
It's not hard to guess what inspired the creators.
Every year, agricultural enterprises in Belarus create straw art objects in fields along roads on the eve of "Dazhynki" (harvest festival). This year, among the traditional castles and piglets, an unconventional option appeared — a sculpture of a woman.
The straw beauty sits on a chair, her "hair" is braided into a plait and adorned with red-green ribbons, and she wears a wreath on her head. The sculpture was created by employees of "Agrokombinat Snov".
It is dedicated to Lukashenka's Year of the Belarusian Woman. A video of the straw sculpture has already gone viral, garnering over 200 thousand views and about 10.5 thousand likes in a day.
Many commentators are delighted: "A true work of art! Well done!", "Cool! A new type of art in Belarus!", "Talented people of Belarus! And the theme is ours, native! Bravo to the performers!".
There are, of course, critics who tactfully ask if this is the final version. There were also comments in the style of the humorous public page "Sovetskaya Belorussia" (Soviet Belarus): "Lukashenka is great!".
