Russia: Fans put jumper on monument to iconic Russian singer Vladimir Vysotski
Fans of singer-songwriter and poet Vladimir Vysotski marked the 79th anniversary of his birthday, in Voronezh, on Wednesday, by placing a huge red sweater on a statue of the artist.
SOT, Viktor Kaysin, Musician (Russian): We found a good photo of Vladimir Semyonovich's [Vysotski] in the same red sweater. I think it's a kind of iconic sweater like in the 1960's, an image of that time. If all goes well, I hope to God, if we get good press, then next year we will start an all-city contest for a new sweater design, it will be a citywide movement. If it happens, I will be happy.
