A large effigy, composed of combustible materials, is ablaze in an open area of Chaikovsky, Russia, emitting intense orange flames and a significant column of dense black smoke against a clear blue sky. The fire rises notably above a multi-story residential building situated behind it, which features a snow-covered roof and multiple windows. A purple balloon is visible, tethered to a balcony on a similar, more distant building. Snow covers the ground in the foreground and mid-ground. Bare trees are visible in the background. In the immediate foreground, a metal railing fence is present. On the left, a person with painted fingernails holds a smartphone horizontally, recording the event; the screen reflects the flames. A second observer's head, wearing a light-colored hat, is partially visible on the right.
