The Orthodox chapel on the summit of Karaulnaya Gora, the symbol of the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk
Krasnoyarsk, 28 March 2008 (Interfax):
A model of a chapel made of pelmeni (a Russian version of ravioli) won the People’s Choice award at the Festival of Siberian Pelmeni in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia. Over 300 pelmeni were used to build it. Events at the festival included an exhibition of sculptures made from pelmeni, a competition for the quickest assembly of a meat-grinder for pelmeni, and a high-speed sandwich-eating contest. A jury of independent judges gave the first prize for pelmeni sculptures to a composition portraying Mount Olympus (the supposed abode of the ancient pagan Greek pantheon), whilst the People’s Choice award was given to a work depicting the symbol of Krasnoyarsk, an Orthodox chapel on Karaulnaya Gora (Sentinel Mountain).
