Russia: Monument dedicated to 'Polite People' unveiled in Simferopol

Hundreds of people gathered in the centre of Simferopol, Saturday, to take part in the solemn opening ceremony of a monument dedicated to the Polite People, also known as the 'Little Green Men.' The bronze sculpture, which was placed in a park near the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, depicts a dialogue between one of the Polite People and a little girl from Crimea. A soldier, wearing full combat uniform, is standing near the smiling girl, who is offering the soldier a bouquet of flowers, while a cat lies on the ground next to the soldiers feet. The sculpture was created by Russian artist, Salavat Sherbakov.
