Sergei Shlelst further mentioned that one of the monument's creators, sculptor Sergei Golovaneets, approved the changes as well.
You might recall that in late March 2025, residents of Omsk started to worry about the changing appearance of the monuments under restoration, suspecting they had been painted black. City Hall responded, assuring locals that the statues were actually made of black metal, and any unusual appearances were due to additional coloring agents applied.
