Overview
A statue of The Beatles is set to be built in the Siberian city of Tomsk, it’s been announced.
The $200,000 life size statue will depict the band’s four members in their infamous pose on Abbey Road.
Nikolai Nikolaychuk, the major of Tomsk, told the local media RIA Novosti that he was looking for fans to invest in the project, which will be created by local sculptors Nikolai and Anton Gnedyh.
"We've got a lot of music fans and those brought up on Beatles music. Many of them are wealthy people. And I'm sure they could invest in this idea," he said.
