The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

The Little Mermaid comes from the famous fairy tale of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, where the stone beneath the bronze statue is painted in three colors of the Russian flag.
Copenhagen police told Agence France-Presse that since they arrived this morning, "a case of vandalism has been filed" and "local investigations have been launched to trace traces".
It is clear that this means supporting Moscow ’ s position in the Ukraine war.
Some tourists, puzzled by this, took pictures of the damaged statue this morning.
The 175-kilogram Little Mermaid is a work by sculptor Edvard Eriksen, inspired by the Danish poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen ’ s 1837 fairy tale of the same name.
The statue, which sits next to a relatively secluded waterfront walkway, has been vandalized several times over the years, including two burglaries of its head in 1964 and 1998, and a severed arm in 1984. In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives and fell into the bay.
It has also been graffitied and painted several times, most recently in 2020 with the words “racist fish. ”

The unusual behavior of an American tourist in Copenhagen caused a storm of indignation among other travelers who witnessed this incident.
The girl came to the statue of the Little Mermaid and, not paying attention to the prohibition to touch the monument, began to touch and even kiss her.
The witness of this incident was a tourist named Dylan Trinkler, who captured everything on his phone.
The video shows how the girl climbed the pedestal of the monument, pressed her face against it and began to kiss the statue.
At the same time, clear warning signs about the prohibition of such actions were installed around the sculpture.
Many people began to condemn the violator, shouted at her to leave.
It should be noted that the statue of the Little Mermaid was installed in 1913 and is made of bronze and granite.
It is part of Danish cultural heritage and is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen ’ s famous fairy tale about a mermaid who gave up her underwater world for the love of a prince on land.

The Most Bold Attempts on Great Works of Art
, 19: 21
“Art is born only from grief, ” said Chuck Palahniuk, showed Van Gogh and now agrees everyone who considers himself a connoisseur of art.
You don ’ t have to cut off your ear to be heard.
Practice shows that, perhaps, art is born in suffering, but it often becomes popular with the help of an unconscious PR campaign of wretched vandals.
In this article, about why Leonardo da Vinci ’ s Mona Lisa became so popular, Munch ’ s Scream was no more important than the Olympics, and the Yeltsin Center guard became both the creator and the defendant.
Ivan Vasilyevich changes the profession, or the author's view of art.
If from the very foundation of the Yekaterinburg Yeltsin Center, the museum was attacked by criticism of Russians who noticed the distortion of history in the project, now the sower of “intrigue, scandal and investigation ” was the guard of the cultural center.
The first working day of the employee decided to celebrate, leaving a mark in the history of the branded ballpoint pen Yeltsin Center.
This day was the last on the post of the guard of the gallery.
The incident occurred at the exhibition "The world as objectivity.
The Birth of New Art ” in the Art Gallery of the Museum.
Assessing the symbolism of the name of the exhibition, the employee of the private security company painted the eyes of two silhouettes in the painting “Three Figures ” by Anna Leporskaya – a student of Malevich – worth 75 million rubles.
The motive for his action is unknown.
After the damage to the picture, the man went home and for several days did not get in touch - "very worried" because of what happened.
His former colleagues suggested that this was nothing more than a “clouding of the mind. ”
The final touches to the picture were put by the guard on December 7, 2021.
At first, the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to initiate a criminal case, calling the damage caused insignificant.
Today, a criminal case was opened against the guard under the article “Vandalism ”.
A creative employee faces a fine of up to 40 thousand rubles, corrective labor or arrest for up to three months.
So, a 60-year-old employee of the private security company can become an involuntary PR-agent, because the picture of a student of Malevich today appears in all media, and the case of an artistic experiment with a ballpoint pen will remain in history.
"...
A Gioconda to be stolen.
and stolen. ”
In the distant 16th century, the Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo ordered a portrait of his wife Lisa Gerardini from the famous Leonardo da Vinci at that time.
Today, she looks at visitors to the Louvre through thick glass, mesmerizing with a barely noticeable smile and a mysterious look.
However, the masterpiece was not so popular until its abduction from the Paris Museum in 1911.
A museum worker is again involved in the attempt on the painting.
However, everything is much more serious here: the Louvre employee Vincenzo Perugia was able not only to remove the picture and carry it out under clothes, but also to keep it in the apartment for two years - the main hit of Leonardo da Vinci during this time was under the stove, in the closet, and in a suitcase with a double bottom.
The police distributed on the streets of Paris almost seven thousand copies of photos of the Mona Lisa - this helped in the search for a masterpiece and made it possible to distinguish the original from a fake.
So the picture began to gain recognition, which was heated by the coverage of the robbery in many media.
Screaming lawlessness.
Edvard Munch was the man who unsuccessfully seeks peace of mind, escaping by writing pictures.
He called the process of creativity a cure for one ’ s own thoughts.
It is terrible to imagine that Munch caught the day when his most famous work will be considered less interesting than the Olympic Games.
However, the artist was lucky, the incident occurred in 1994.
February 12.
The National Gallery of Oslo is deprived of the painting “Scream ” by Edward Munch due to no less national – on this day the opening of the Winter Olympics in the Norwegian city of Lillehammer was broadcast.
The solemn event was observed by the museum staff, not paying attention to the alarm.
At this time, the bandits entered the gallery through the window with the help of a stepladder and in 50 seconds took the “screaming ” picture from the audacity of the robbery.
The thieves left no trace, except for a note addressed to employees: “Thank you for the poor security. ”
Munch's work was found only two months later.
Today she is the record holder in Norway for the number of thefts.
Thus, masterpieces of painting are not always born out of suffering, but they may need to go through this suffering for further public recognition.

The Most Bold Attempts on Great Works of Art
, 19: 21
“Art is born only from grief, ” said Chuck Palahniuk, showed Van Gogh and now agrees everyone who considers himself a connoisseur of art.
You don ’ t have to cut off your ear to be heard.
Practice shows that, perhaps, art is born in suffering, but it often becomes popular with the help of an unconscious PR campaign of wretched vandals.
In this article, about why Leonardo da Vinci ’ s Mona Lisa became so popular, Munch ’ s Scream was no more important than the Olympics, and the Yeltsin Center guard became both the creator and the defendant.
Ivan Vasilyevich changes the profession, or the author's view of art.
If from the very foundation of the Yekaterinburg Yeltsin Center, the museum was attacked by criticism of Russians who noticed the distortion of history in the project, now the sower of “intrigue, scandal and investigation ” was the guard of the cultural center.
The first working day of the employee decided to celebrate, leaving a mark in the history of the branded ballpoint pen Yeltsin Center.
This day was the last on the post of the guard of the gallery.
The incident occurred at the exhibition "The world as objectivity.
The Birth of New Art ” in the Art Gallery of the Museum.
Assessing the symbolism of the name of the exhibition, the employee of the private security company painted the eyes of two silhouettes in the painting “Three Figures ” by Anna Leporskaya – a student of Malevich – worth 75 million rubles.
The motive for his action is unknown.
After the damage to the picture, the man went home and for several days did not get in touch - "very worried" because of what happened.
His former colleagues suggested that this was nothing more than a “clouding of the mind. ”
The final touches to the picture were put by the guard on December 7, 2021.
At first, the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to initiate a criminal case, calling the damage caused insignificant.
Today, a criminal case was opened against the guard under the article “Vandalism ”.
A creative employee faces a fine of up to 40 thousand rubles, corrective labor or arrest for up to three months.
So, a 60-year-old employee of the private security company can become an involuntary PR-agent, because the picture of a student of Malevich today appears in all media, and the case of an artistic experiment with a ballpoint pen will remain in history.
"...
A Gioconda to be stolen.
and stolen. ”
In the distant 16th century, the Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo ordered a portrait of his wife Lisa Gerardini from the famous Leonardo da Vinci at that time.
Today, she looks at visitors to the Louvre through thick glass, mesmerizing with a barely noticeable smile and a mysterious look.
However, the masterpiece was not so popular until its abduction from the Paris Museum in 1911.
A museum worker is again involved in the attempt on the painting.
However, everything is much more serious here: the Louvre employee Vincenzo Perugia was able not only to remove the picture and carry it out under clothes, but also to keep it in the apartment for two years - the main hit of Leonardo da Vinci during this time was under the stove, in the closet, and in a suitcase with a double bottom.
The police distributed on the streets of Paris almost seven thousand copies of photos of the Mona Lisa - this helped in the search for a masterpiece and made it possible to distinguish the original from a fake.
So the picture began to gain recognition, which was heated by the coverage of the robbery in many media.
Screaming lawlessness.
Edvard Munch was the man who unsuccessfully seeks peace of mind, escaping by writing pictures.
He called the process of creativity a cure for one ’ s own thoughts.
It is terrible to imagine that Munch caught the day when his most famous work will be considered less interesting than the Olympic Games.
However, the artist was lucky, the incident occurred in 1994.
February 12.
The National Gallery of Oslo is deprived of the painting “Scream ” by Edward Munch due to no less national – on this day the opening of the Winter Olympics in the Norwegian city of Lillehammer was broadcast.
The solemn event was observed by the museum staff, not paying attention to the alarm.
At this time, the bandits entered the gallery through the window with the help of a stepladder and in 50 seconds took the “screaming ” picture from the audacity of the robbery.
The thieves left no trace, except for a note addressed to employees: “Thank you for the poor security. ”
Munch's work was found only two months later.
Today she is the record holder in Norway for the number of thefts.
Thus, masterpieces of painting are not always born out of suffering, but they may need to go through this suffering for further public recognition.

The Little Mermaid comes from the famous fairy tale of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, where the stone beneath the bronze statue is painted in three colors of the Russian flag.
Copenhagen police told Agence France-Presse that since they arrived this morning, "a case of vandalism has been filed" and "local investigations have been launched to trace traces".

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue
By Rob Quinn,  Newser Staff
Posted Mar 2, 2023 10:15 AM CST

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

The Little Mermaid comes from the famous fairy tale of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, where the stone beneath the bronze statue is painted in three colors of the Russian flag.
Copenhagen police told Agence France-Presse that since they arrived this morning, "a case of vandalism has been filed" and "local investigations have been launched to trace traces".
It is clear that this means supporting Moscow ’ s position in the Ukraine war.
Some tourists, puzzled by this, took pictures of the damaged statue this morning.
The 175-kilogram Little Mermaid is a work by sculptor Edvard Eriksen, inspired by the Danish poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen ’ s 1837 fairy tale of the same name.
The statue, which sits next to a relatively secluded waterfront walkway, has been vandalized several times over the years, including two burglaries of its head in 1964 and 1998, and a severed arm in 1984. In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives and fell into the bay.
It has also been graffitied and painted several times, most recently in 2020 with the words “racist fish. ”

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.
