PUGACHYOVA MONUMENT DISAPPEARS

The 350-kilogram statue of the pop diva was stolen hours after it was erected.
A monument to pop diva Alla Pugachyova was stolen from its pedestal in the courtyard of her apartment building on Zemlyanoi Val just hours after being erected, news agencies reported Thursday.
Police said they have no leads as to who made off with the 350-kilogram plaster statue Tuesday night.
The statue was commissioned by the Express-Gazeta newspaper.
Sergei Minayev, head of the newspaper's special projects department, told reporters Thursday that he was puzzled by the theft but doubted that Pugachyova's fans were responsible.
"I think Pugachyova carried the statue off to her dacha," Minayev joked, the Dni.ru news agency reported.
Minayev speculated that municipal authorities might have removed the statue because City Hall had never given its blessing to the project.
City officials were not immediately available for comment Thursday.
Minayev promised to install another statue of the singer by the end of April. This time it will be made of cement.
