At the beginning of December, an exhibition dedicated to the conflict in the south-east of Ukraine opened in Kyiv, which collected about 100 works by contemporary artists, among whom was citizen of the Russian Federation Anton Myrzin, the publication recalls. The content of the posters corresponded to the general trend in Ukrainian politics - calls for war, obscene language addressed to the Russian President, incitement of ethnic hatred and glorification of genocide against Russians and residents of Donbass.
The money from the sold works, according to the organizers, will be used to treat the wounded in the Kiev military hospital. As for the posters themselves, as the exhibition coordinator Olga Goncharenko explained, “the posters will be replicated and sent to military units located in the ATO zone.”
Khudyakov is outraged by the participation of a Russian citizen in such an event. “We have a democratic country and democratic principles, but when it comes to crimes against humanity, we do not have the right to remain silent. Look at these posters - “The earth will be cotton - we’ll bury it for free”, “NATO has nowhere to retreat - forward to Moscow.” And these are only the most harmless ones,” said the parliamentarian.
According to Khudyakov, the Russian citizen caused moral harm and insult to the entire Russian society by taking an active part in the propaganda campaign in Kyiv. “While all of Russia and each of its residents are collecting a thread from the world to send food and clothing to the tortured Donbass, this bastard is calling for the killing of Russians.”
Ilya Drozdov, a member of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs and Relations with Compatriots, also supported his colleague. The deputy believes that law enforcement agencies should immediately take up this case and apply the law to its fullest extent.
Russian artists also condemn Anton Myrzin. Thus, the laureate of the Kandinsky Prize, Alexei Belyaev-Gintovt, told Izvestia that participation in a project unfriendly to the country, in his opinion, is unethical from a moral point of view. The artist believes that if Russian legislation was violated, then all available sanctions must be applied.
