The image of Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared at the top of the apartment complex, holding the globe as Greek myths depicted "Atlas" carrying the planetarium. In the picture, Putin appears almost naked, wearing only a piece in his lower body, and his muscles appear swollen. This building is located in the ancient Russian town of Kulmena, which has its own "Kremlin" and countless onion-like domes that decorate the upper part of a number of monasteries and churches. Atlas was famous for his durability, as well as Putin, as the artist believes, since he has been supervising Russia for 20 years, and it appears that the residents of the apartment are in no hurry to see him go.
One of the residents says: "Putin has made Russia's position stronger in the world, let him spend another 10 years." And another says, "I was ten when he came to power, and I am now 30 years old, I cannot imagine someone else replacing him." "Living is very difficult, but the world has been appreciating Russia through Putin," says Tatiana.
The artist, Ivan Pchelin, who painted this painting to the local media, said that he portrayed the Russian president as an "atlas", the legendary Greek giant who carried the sky on his shoulders, because he viewed Putin as a peace maker. "(Atlas) carrying the sky and the world, and Putin supports peace," using the Russian word mir, which translates to "peace" and "the world." Late last year, a Kyrgyz businessman erected a statue of Russian President Vladimir Putin at his ski resort in Kyrgyzstan, claiming that he returned Russia, who had given him one of its financial institutions a loan he had previously requested from a Kyrgyz bank, but abandoned it because of its unfair terms .
