Voina

A giant skull and crossbones projected on the Russian White House

As anyone who reads this blog periodically knows, I'm a huge fan of street art. Voina, a "radical art group" in Russia takes things to a new level.

From Don't Panic...

Voina (or “War” to give them their English name) are a radical art group concerned with challenging the Russian establishment on important political issues such as attitudes towards homophobia, race, and the totalitarian actions of the state, through creating outrageous and provocative art performances in Russia. Two of their members; Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolayev have been detained for more than a month at St Petersburg Prison on false allegations.

Last week Banksy declared that all profits from his current print sale would be gifted to Voina.

For context the bridge faces the offices of the Russian security agency (formerly KGB) in St. Petersburg (probably NSFW)...
