Marusia Churai Memorial (Ukrainian: Пам'ятник Марусі Чурай) is a standing figure of Marusia Churai sculpted by Dmytro Korshunov and Valeriy Holub in Poltava, Ukraine. It is located in the Regional Musical-Dramatic Theatre Nikolai Gogol on Nebesnoyi Sotni Street, the centre of Poltava.[1]
The figure was established on 14 April 2006.[1] It had been built for three months: first modelled with clay, then with concrete, and finally covered with copper.[2]
Residents nicknamed the figure "Girl with mobile phone" (Дівчина з мобілкою) for its posture as Churai's head slid to the right and her right hand raised, resembling a woman who is using mobile phones.[3][4]
