"Lavender fields” have appeared in central Moscow — but they turned out to be made of plastic.
The installation was spotted on Lubyanka Square, in front of the FSB (formerly KGB) building, where decorative purple fields were set up as part of urban landscaping. However, social media users quickly realized that the flowers were artificial.
Public Reaction Divided
Opinions online split sharply. Some users described the display as visually striking and attractive, while others said the artificial plants reminded them of cemetery decorations.
