Voina - Video, by BlightSociety on Mar 17, 2011 9:25:08 GMT 1, Seen this before but it’s always a good watch.I gotta admit I have a soft spot for those crazy guys in Voina.

They also flipped police cars in St. Petersburg, held a wake for absurdist poet Dmitry Prigov in a metro carriage and threw live cats at McDonald’s staff on a workers holiday.



Each stunt is designed to make a comment on Russian life. The p***s on the bridge was about an undemocratic handover of power in the country, the police cars were about fatal traffic law and the cats were about worker exploitation.

In Russia people who don’t agree with the government can be quickly punished. They even have a "hooligan" law that was passed to stop football violence but is now used to brake up political protests. This obserdist art is as good a way of making your point as your gonna get.

I think the money from banksy's “Choose Your Weapon” print was donated to the Free Voina campaign started when two of its members were falsely arrested.
