    well hardly a monument. It seems to be like 10cm tall or something. More of a figurine. Nice design though...

    I'm sure they're grateful to Linus, for giving them such a useful platform to use in the typical Russian banditry, thuggery and racketeering.

  5. Definitely not a monument by Yfrwlf · · Score: 1

    A monument you don't hold. A monument is big and heavy and can't be easily moved.

    Of course it's not a monument. It's a goddamn miniature of the monument. Author is taking donations for building and installing one.
