In the city of Kotelniki, Russia, on a sunny day, a monument is prominently displayed. The monument features three white metal sculptures of cranes in flight, mounted on slender poles. One crane is positioned in the foreground, two are in the mid-ground. The base of the monument is a large, rough-hewn stone rock with inscriptions. The top inscription on the rock reads "РУСЬ" (Rus'). Below that, in quotes, is "КРАЕУГОЛЬНЫЙ КАМЕНЬ" (Cornerstone) followed by the date "24.02.2022 г." (24.02.2022). Further down, the word "БЕЛАРУСЬ" (Belarus) is carved. The monument is adorned with a tricolor ribbon in red, white, and blue, positioned horizontally across the rock below the inscription "БЕЛАРУСЬ". At the very bottom, "НОВОРОССИЯ" (Novorossiya) is inscribed on the rock. The monument is surrounded by a small garden bed with green plants and some pink flowers. To the left of the monument, a bus stop structure with a bench is visible, where two individuals are seated. A grey corrugated metal fence is behind the bus stop. In the background, trees and residential buildings can be seen under a clear blue sky with a few wispy clouds. The sun casts shadows, indicating it is likely late afternoon. The overall scene depicts a roadside memorial with symbolic elements related to national identity and historical events.
