Art Exhibition
In a new art exhibition, the Kremlin’s brainwashing methods are revealed
When street artist Philippenzo, 39, found a wanted notice from the police when he arrived home, he knew that his life was about to change. Hours earlier — amidst the patriotic celebration of Russia Day, on June 12, 2023 — he painted a mural under Moscow’s Elektrozavodskiy Bridge, with the word izrossilovaniye… a play on letters that forms the sentence “Russia rapes you.”
The next morning, Philippenzo turned off his cell phone and dressed up in glasses and a cap. He then escaped on a flight to Georgia. “The work alludes to Putin’s abuses against his own citizens and against Ukraine,” he explains to EL PAÍS.
