The Kört-Aika Monument is a steel statue located at the entrance to the village of Kortkeros, Kortkerossky District, Komi Republic, Russia.
It was initially installed in the courtyard of a local blacksmith, Igor Usachev, before being built at the village's entrance on November 12.
[1][3] Some residents objected to the statue's existence, as they considered it to promote a revival of the native Komi religion.
In response, the statue's creators stated that it is not a pagan monument, but a work of art.
[4][5] The local diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church also stated that the statue does not bear any religious or ideological motive.
