In the Khabarovsk Territory, a giant picture of Putin is being prepared.

In the territory of Khabarovsk, they are going to create the largest mural in Russia depicting Vladimir Putin. Moreover, the size of the future work must, presumably, correspond to the scale of the person depicted.

The area of ​​the wall portrait will be between 900 and 1,500 square meters. The height is about the size of a nine-story building, maybe more.

They plan to depict the president in full growth, against a background of military equipment, possibly in military uniform. This image should symbolize a strong, confident and calm commander-in-chief.

The initiator of the project, head of the Union of Patriots of the Motherland Egor Kirchenko, claims that the idea was born due to many requests from ordinary citizens. Allegedly, the residents of the area regularly asked when President Yuger Sof would be drawn. And I, sinfully, thought the idea was born out of this character's desire to do good.

The author of the monumental work will be the artist Vassili Shershon. Creating a portrait will require about a ton of paint and more than a month of work.

The location is now in the choice between Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The works are expected to start in the months of May-June 2027. The sketches will have to be approved, among other things, by the presidential administration.

All this is surprisingly reminiscent of a well-known tradition in history, when the photos of the current head of state gradually become an obligatory part of the city landscape.

To begin with, you just need to draw a nine-story president. And then, you see, they'll ask for a twenty-story one. After all, the personality scale, as we know, has no limits.
