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.

COPENHAGEN (AFP) - The iconic Little Mermaid statue in the Danish capital Copenhagen was vandalized on Wednesday night as unidentified people painted the Russian flag on its base.
Announcement
An AFP correspondent reported that the Russian flag was painted under unknown circumstances on the stone above which a statue of the Little Mermaid, inspired by the heroine of one of the stories of the writer Hans Christian Andersen, was installed.
Danish police said they were launching an investigation into the incident, without giving any indication of the source of the move, which shows clear support for Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
A Copenhagen police spokesman told AFP: "We are investigating the area in order to find any evidence."
A small number of tourists in the area took pictures of the statue in the port of Copenhagen, which was vandalized on Thursday morning.
The Little Mermaid statue on a largely unfrequented promenade has been targeted several times since it was installed in 1913.
In 1964, the head of the nymph was stolen for the first time without being recovered.
In 1998, a group of vandals cut off the head of the statue again, but it was later restored.
This monument was exposed to the explosion in 2003.
The statue, created by Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen, has also been targeted several times with graffiti or graffiti, most recently in 2020 with the inscription “racist fish ”.

The Little Mermaid statue was most recently vandalized in 2020 when it was graffitied with the words "racist fish."

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. ”

Published: Updated:
[Mona Lisa / Famous Paintings / Demonstrations] In recent years, famous paintings have been used as a tool for demonstrations, and Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa" has become the latest target of demonstrators.
Two women wearing “Riposte Alimentaire ” (food revenge) clothing broke through the security line of the Louvre in France yesterday (28), and pointed to the“ Mona Lisa ” soup to appeal to the public to pay attention to the issue of food sustainability. The painting is protected by glass.
Two protesters sprinkle soup in front of the protective glass of the famous painting "Mona Lisa".

According to social media videos, two demonstrators plunged into the fence and poured soup on the painting, asking the crowd, “What ’ s more important? Art or the right to a healthy, sustainable diet? ” before adding,“ Our agricultural system is sick and farmers are dying at work. ”
The staff of the Louvre immediately put a black screen in front of the two men and asked the visitors to clear the venue.
The museum said the painting was not damaged by bulletproof glass protection, and the museum has now returned to normal. Paris police said the two were arrested after the incident.

The two women, from the environmental group Riposte Alimentaire, said on social media that the campaign was to draw public attention to the problem of hunger and food sustainability in France, and asked the government to include food in the social welfare system and provide citizens with a monthly food card worth €150.
In the face of a series of agriculture-related demonstrations in France, many farmers have blocked roads with tractors for days, demanding a reduction in industry regulation, a reduction in fuel costs and control of imported and low-cost food.
French Culture Minister Rachida Dati immediately condemned the incident on social media, saying: "The Mona Lisa is like our other cultural heritage and belongs to our next generation."
There is no legitimate reason to use a painting as a target. "
This is not the first time Mona Lisa has faced a crisis of destruction. The painting was stolen by Louvre staff in 1911 and recovered two years later. In the 1950s, the painting was damaged by acid liquid, and the museum began to install a glass cover for the painting to protect it. In 2009, a woman threw a ceramic cup into the painting, and the cup was broken and the painting was not damaged. There have been visitors smearing cream on the painting, calling on the masses to protect the earth.

Published: Updated:
[Mona Lisa / Famous Paintings / Demonstrations] In recent years, famous paintings have been used as a tool for demonstrations, and Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece "Mona Lisa" has become the latest target of demonstrators.
Two women wearing “Riposte Alimentaire ” (food revenge) clothing broke through the security line of the Louvre in France yesterday (28), and pointed to the“ Mona Lisa ” soup to appeal to the public to pay attention to the issue of food sustainability. The painting is protected by glass.

According to social media videos, two demonstrators plunged into the fence and poured soup on the painting, asking the crowd, “What ’ s more important? Art or the right to a healthy, sustainable diet? ” before adding,“ Our agricultural system is sick and farmers are dying at work. ”
The staff of the Louvre immediately put a black screen in front of the two men and asked the visitors to clear the venue.
The museum said the painting was not damaged by bulletproof glass protection, and the museum has now returned to normal. Paris police said the two were arrested after the incident.

The two women, from the environmental group Riposte Alimentaire, said on social media that the campaign was to draw public attention to the problem of hunger and food sustainability in France, and asked the government to include food in the social welfare system and provide citizens with a monthly food card worth €150.
In the face of a series of agriculture-related demonstrations in France, many farmers have blocked roads with tractors for days, demanding a reduction in industry regulation, a reduction in fuel costs and control of imported and low-cost food.
French Culture Minister Rachida Dati immediately condemned the incident on social media, saying: "The Mona Lisa is like our other cultural heritage and belongs to our next generation."
There is no legitimate reason to use a painting as a target. "
This is not the first time Mona Lisa has faced a crisis of destruction. The painting was stolen by Louvre staff in 1911 and recovered two years later. In the 1950s, the painting was damaged by acid liquid, and the museum began to install a glass cover for the painting to protect it. In 2009, a woman threw a ceramic cup into the painting, and the cup was broken and the painting was not damaged. There have been visitors smearing cream on the painting, calling on the masses to protect the earth.

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.

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".

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.

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 Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen has been repeatedly damaged over the years due to vandalism, with incidents including theft of its head, decapitation, explosion, and graffiti.
