A former regional governor in Kazakhstan has been immortalized in a fresco inside a newly-built Orthodox cathedral.
Sergey Kulagin is famous for spending a record seven years and 10 months in office.
The politician, who now holds a senator's seat, is depicted among a group of people meeting Jesus at the gates of Jerusalem.
The fresco has outraged Church representatives. They say it is not the first time sponsors and local officials have been honored in this way.
Kulagin says he has no idea who is responsible for including his portrait in the mural and has ordered that it be removed.
