Someone used a penny to carve something into a pillar on the Lincoln Memorial

HYPT MAEK? Does anyone speak Russian. The article didn't provide a translation from what I saw. I also read that the student was surprised that he was in trouble an didn't know that defacing a national monument and damage to public property was unacceptable.

Appalling. I find it difficult to believe that he was surprised that he could get in trouble. Maybe surprised that he got caught.

"At the monument, the officer saw and heard Bakirov scratching the penny into the pillar and asked him what he was doing.


"Sorry," Bakirov reportedly said, and then tried to walk away.

The officer ordered him to stop, and after the second time, Bakirov did.
He apologized and said he "didn’t know that you can’t do that," the report says.
"Am I in trouble for doing this?" he asked."
