Residents of the village of Bell End in the English county of Worcestershire have installed a statue of Vladimir Putin with a head in the shape of a penis head in the center of their settlement. As seen in photos posted on social media, the inscription on the pedestal reads “Bellend of the Year”, which can be translated as “Dickhead of the Year”.
Near the statue, covered with gold paint, there is a sign with the name of the village: it is consonant with the word that in English means the head of the penis. The word "bellend" can also be used as an insult.
The Independent writes that the statue was erected in protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As the organizer of the action, who wished not to give his name, told reporters, residents and guests of the village, passing by the statue of Putin, were offered to throw eggs at the image of the Russian president, which many did with pleasure.
Another activist said they plan to make and sell small statues of a dick-headed Putin, with the proceeds to be used to help Ukrainian refugees.
In November, a group of Czech activists put up for auction a statue depicting a naked Putin sitting on a toilet. On the neck of the figure hangs a chain with a pendant in the form of a large letter Z, in one hand he holds a toilet brush, and in the other - a washing machine, from which, as it were, blood flows.
The starting price of the sculpture was €10,000. The auction must end on December 20th. With the proceeds, the activists plan to buy a combat drone for the Ukrainian army.
