It is reported by the OVD-Info . “As eyewitnesses say, at the entrance to the hostel there was an outfit of the police,” said Nenasheva on Facebook.
She reported about her action: “Today, on the day of Russia, we, together with a boarding school graduate and coordinator of our own charitable projects Dima Zhdanov, are starting a series of interventions in public spaces as part of the“ System Pedagogical Practitions ”campaign”.
Dima Zhdanov’s brother was brutally beaten, and when, due to the indifference of the prosecutor’s office and the police, the guilty ones did not suffer punishment, in an attempt to draw attention to injustice, he jumped out of the fifth floor and broke the spine. “For two years, Dima has been moving in a stroller and is unlikely to once now get to his feet. Dima’s body is a mirror of brutal “pedagogy” in orphanages, when children who are accustomed to punishment and mockery, in real life, continue to mock themselves and each other. <...> transferring the act of everyday purification of the Russian Academy of Sciences and leaning into a public space, we reflect on the boundaries of bodily, political and, above all, human, ”the artist wrote.
After the action, she spoke about the reaction of passers-by and the police: “Many people went around us and did not let their children get closer to Dima, someone turned away, there was a man who simply fled, clutching his head. The police officer could not understand what was happening for a long time, but at some point she began to scream hysterically: "step back, do not look, you can’t look at it, you can’t!" "
“I think that the topic was raised too specifically, ” Nenasheva commented on Novy Gazeta, the actions of the ED center. “When two people appear - an artist and a real, absolutely alive and at the same time a terrible character, the statement becomes more affirmative - and it is true that it is not clear what to do with it.”
