      Let us remind you that tactile models of urban landmarks began to be installed in Nizhny Novgorod in the fall of 2023. At that time, the city saw the emergence of 12 such objects. Soon after the installation of the mini-copies of the landmarks, vandals became active. They particularly "liked" the model of the Gorky monument, which has been attacked multiple times. Then the hooligans switched to the models of churches - they broke off the crosses. At that time, Governor Gleb Nikitin criticized them.
