"Last Friday Kuzovkov protested outside the Russian embassy in Berlin with a satirical painting of Putin and Joseph Stalin."

"It depicted a tiny Putin sitting on Stalin’s lap. He also stuffed a Russian flag into a bin during the protest, which was staged on the Russia Day national holiday.... On Saturday Kuzovkov posted a painting on Telegram showing [Chechen leader Ramzan] Kadyrov and his teenage son, Adam, as pigs. His work included sexually explicit images of Kadyrov that suggested the Chechen leader was gay. He also mocked Apti Alaudinov, the commander of Chechnya’s Akhmat special forces unit...."

Harrumph, well, yes. Reasons, old boy. Reasons.

Leland said...

See, Keir Starmer is so much more civilized.

Lucien said...

The Stalin/Putin picture looks quite R. Crumb.

Peachy said...

All of those images are American Democratics.

I'm interested in why "the case may be murkier than it first appears".

Yah, me too. How is it more than he made fun of the wrong people so they had him killed?

Peachy said...

Now do Kier Starmer (D) - Pro-rapist / pro-censorship Nazi pig.

Ice Nine said...

Tragic, brave, terrible, yeah, all of that. But damn, he was screwing - complete with gratuitous gay stuff - with some heavy hitters, who are known to do these kinds of things. He had to be expecting this didn't he?

Sitting in a car park. Well, sure, you've got to go out but if this is the work you are going to do and you plan to live a while longer, you pretty much have to commit to hermitage, don't you? He might have asked Salman Rushdie about all that...

Aggie said...

What, was he shot in a reflecting pool or something?

Ugly paintings, but not worth killing over.

In Russia, the politicians assassinate you.

Narr said...

The Nazi Jewkrainians are behind it of course . . . just like they're behind the Kyiv cathedral attack. Anything to make Putin and Russia look bad.

Amirite?

Eva Marie said...

Kuzovkov was a Bashkir.
Modern Bashkir identity blends Turkic language, Islamic tradition, and a strong sense of rootedness in the Ural–Volga landscape, along with a historical memory of being dominated by larger powers—Mongol, Russian imperial, and Soviet. (Perplexity)
Married with 5 kids. Very sad.

What a character.

Ignorance is Bliss said...

The picture does not show Putin on Stalin's lap. Putin is much too small for that

Wilbur said...

Bagoh. +1

Cuba's ruling anti-democratic elite Castro family have stolen everything from the Cuban people.

American leftists LOVE that!

In the US - The democrats and their vile media fill their loyal lie-buy religious cult base with so much distilled boiling hate and rage - they laugh after they kill a free speech advocate in cold blood in front of his wife and children. Then blame others and or the Jews.

bagoh20 said...

I do envy the simplicity of blaming Jews for everything. It's like a swiss army knife but way better.
