Artist Ivan Volkov apologized to the residents of St. Petersburg for the installation in the form of giant feces on the Field of Mars. A note written by him by hand was published by Fontanka.ru.
“It is caused by remorse. He is an adequate person, he understands that this could offend someone, so he decided to publicly apologize, ”said lawyer Timofey Evseev, who handed Volkov’s note to journalists.
Recall that a criminal case was initiated against the young artist under Article 244 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Desecration of the bodies of the dead and their burial places”). On the Field of Mars, where Ivan Volkov placed his art object, there is a mass grave of the fallen during the revolutions of 1917 and the Civil War.
