Nikolai Gogol, a prominent 18th century Russian classic novelist, used to say: “Russia has two problems: pinheads and roads.” Fed up with the latter, dentists in Barnaul, a city in West Siberia’s Altai Territory, took matters into their own hands: they filled road potholes with a slew of dental prostheses.
According to the campaign’s organizer Maxim Kuzmin, the team had spent half a year accumulating the due amount of dental cores. The activists patched three streets dotted with huge potholes, to which housing and public utilities workers had turned a blind eye.
“Such a campaign is being held in Barnaul for the first time. We want the potholes to be filled up, and hopefully we will manage to draw attention to this problem,” Kuzmin said as quoted by Interfax.
The filling material is made of environmental-friendly plaster which will turn into dust.
Social media users’ attitudes varied from delight in the dentists’ quickwittedness to shock at the scaring picture of jaws carpeting the road.
Anyway, the dentists attained their goal: soon after the plaster jaws had appeared on the roads, the housing and utility services were reported as doing their job.
