Since yesterday, people have been sending me video proof that the plaque in New York’s Central Park celebrating the love of VTB state banker Andrei Kostin and Russia-1 state TV host Nailya Asker-Zade has disappeared. ⠀ Who could have dared take such an unprecedented step? Whose cruel intentions were offended by the tender feelings of Nailya and Andrei? ⠀ Whose merciless hand held the screwdriver? Did the villain really not understand that Nailya would weep bitterly, mourning not even the $25,000 that was paid for it (it was stolen from Russian citizens anyway; they’ll just steal more — not exactly difficult, is it), but the loss of such a beautiful symbol? ⠀ So now the only mention of this wonderful gift is left in our investigation, "Yacht. Plane. Girl." 🙁 ⠀ Still, there is hope that our lovers were struck by a burst of patriotism and themselves ordered the Central Park administration 🇺🇸 to unscrew the plaque. In that case, we will probably soon see it again — only this time on a bench in Zaryadye (a park in central Moscow). 🇷🇺
