Department of the Investigative Committee in Moscow again checks Peter Pavlensky, the man who calls himself an artist. And their actions — like closing the mouth, cutting off the ear lobe or nailing scrotum to the cobblestones of red square, no less, of political actions. Now he could face up to 6 years in prison, and even more. For rape. Moreover, the group, with the participation of companion Pavlensky. The application was written by the actress in the capital “Театра.doc”. Well, the suspect very quickly responded, said that the question of provocation, and — predictably — had gone abroad. In General, once took a course to see yourself as a victim of persecution. As if the mentioned statement to the police in Ge neral plays no role. By the way, this departure is more like a escape for the so-called actionists — a common occurrence. For example, the art group “War”: its activists after of arts at the Foundry bridge in St. Petersburg and attempts to storm the grounds of the White house also decided to move abroad. That’s just quickly became disillusioned. Acknowledged: no one in Europe really do not need. But does the same thing Peter Pavlensky?
It warned: it is not necessary to return to the capital. But when such calls of frightened Peter Pavlensky? In an interview to Ukrainian TV artist-actionist recognized: the development of its liquidation “began long before the recent events.” To determine the fine line between light and shadow paintings on eternal damnation of the opposition helps the faithful companion.
“It was not something unexpected, constant surveillance, says the companion of Peter Oksana. — That is, the phone is tapped. There were some breaks, but last time out in Poland and after Peter is always watching us, and the man stood, and went. That is, the observations were conducted constantly.”
“I can say that we did not betray this value, well watch and follow, — says Pyotr Pavlensky. — When we do something, we will find ways to evade this surveillance.”
But this time, in the terminology of the Pavlinsky, the authorities managed to make the first move. On return from Warsaw to Moscow intrepid couple was detained and taken for questioning. The artist and his companion I assure you: other way to leave, they did not have.
“it’s One thing to sit behind what you did, no matter illegal or not, is another matter – for what you do, — says Oksana. — When you just “hung”, this particular slander or libel. Why you need to travel meekly like a sheep to the slaughter?”.
“moreover, to the slaughter, is beneficial to the state that you just destroyed, eliminated,” adds Peter.
However, this time Pyotr Pavlensky and Oksana Shalygina shines far not a political article. Even with a solid deadline. For the rape of criminal code of Russia provides for up to 10 years behind bars.
Please note: in spite of the seemingly rich judicial experience, a couple Pavlensky-Shalygina, communicating with Ukrainian journalists, as if deliberately confusing pre-investigation verification with the investigation, and says: left the country immediately after the interrogation. That’s just from December 14, just over a month.
“Is only preliminary examination, — says the journalist Oleg Lurie. — Of course, no one can even legally arrested. Had a conversation with them, find out their position. Of course, here – totally non-political history, the actions of a sexual nature. And, of course, he had to leave to save myself. He said, “Oh, I’m afraid to be in prison for article about rape”. But how is this? And rape, he wasn’t afraid?”.
But Pavlensky sewed up his mouth with coarse thread, set fire to the door of the building of the FSB, nailed his own scrotum to the pavement of the Kremlin. “If an ordinary artist working in the comfort zone, I’m becoming a character, leave, and then take responsibility”, — he boasted in an interview. So what in this case is not in a hurry to take? Or this article it is not so interesting?
Not long ago, the artist himself was asked to give him time heavier. That’s just the court his suicide did not recognize. Disappointed even the audience that during his short career Pavlensky turned out to be rather tired. Many people today just wished him a good road. Like other similar actionist.
take Root if political actionism Pavlensky in the Fifth Republic, it is hard to say. Still the same power – it is here in Russia. But if the artist-actionist will draw up a new citizenship, and the theme will have to change. In our view, a hammer, nails and barbed wire well into the interiors of the refugee camps. Here only will this our hero? After all, he used to stand out.
