Most pointless model yet

Came across this picture of a strange Russian paper model, and I can't for the life of me think of a reason why anyone should make a model of a corner of a building site! Spot the tiny vodka bottle in there?

Perhaps someone can read the label and translate it, and that might solve the mystery.

It must be a Stoli promotion.

Not very prominent product placement. Anyway, would this account for the grim look of Russian housing units?

It's subliminal advertising.

Google translate comes up with "Happy holidays, guys", which may or may not be any help.

its a time of year in Ireland known as builders holidays so maybe its the same in Russia that they have their holidays the first two weeks in August

Neat model, is it available for download?

I think it's a political statement, and a funny one at that!
