This panorama depicts a sculpture of an ancient native of Estonia. The bearskin draped over his back and the large knife at his side identifies him as a hunter. His wide, outstretched arms and smile are gestures of welcome to natives and tourists alike. After visiting this large sculpture, tourists visit the surrounding city of Tallinn and take in breathtaking views of the beautiful gulf landscapes. This sculpture is a beautiful moment in history captured for everyone to enjoy.
Why it's also Preved Medved? - Just for fun!
The word "Preved" in this VR panorama's title is a Russian internet slang for surprise, derived from Russian word 'Privet' (a misspelling of privet, Russian: Привет - "Hi!"). It was made infamous by a heavily circulated picture of a modified John Lurie watercolor, "Bear Surprise" that was shown at Roebling Hall Gallery, Chelsea in January 2006. Its popularity was stoked by emails and blogs, features a man and a woman having sex in the clearing of a forest, when suddenly a bear comes out, and with paws raised, says "Surprise!" in the original version, or "Preved!" in the Russian adaptation.
