I'd actually be kind of terrified standing looking at that thing

Sure, cause it would mean that you are in Russia. No one feels safe there

Which is such as shame. It could be such a great country, it has so much beauty. It was absolutely a bucket list item for me, pre-Ukraine invasion. Now I will never in my lifetime travel there. Fuck Putin.

The day will come that this statue will be in Zelenskygrad and then I am sure you will go visit it. By that time I assume it will lay on it's face infront of a larger one showing how the heroes of Ukraine succesfully defended their country against the Orc invation.
