Employees of the Center “E” detained a 39-year-old advertising photographer in St. Petersburg. He was accused of disrespectful treatment dedicated to the “Hero of Russia”, reported Fontanka edition.
What poster are you talking about. Unidentified people found a banner covered in red paint between the Park Pobedy and Moskovskaya metro stations on October 18. Presumably, the poster depicted a man who was awarded the title of “Hero of Russia”. Whether the banner was somehow connected with the war in Ukraine, Fontanka did not specify.
According to investigators, an unknown advertising photographer poured water over the poster – a protocol was drawn up against him on “discrediting the army” and petty hooliganism. According to Fontanka, the police are deciding whether to open a criminal case against the man.
What you need to know. After the start of the invasion of Ukraine, the streets of Russian cities were massively started inscriptions, stickers, paintings and posters with statements against the war appear. In August, the Network Freedoms project informedthat 44 criminal cases were opened in 20 regions of Russia because of anti-war street art.
