A “black label” from the books about Harry Potter was projected onto the wall of the Pulkovo observatory. So activists showed that the "murder" of the institution occurred

The Yav art group brought a projection with a “black mark” from films and books about Harry Potter to the wall of the Pulkovo observatory. Thus, they opposed the cessation of astronomical observations in the institution.

In the works of Harry Potter, the subjects of Volan de Morte used to designate the houses in which the murder took place in black label. “In our realities, life is taken from the Pulkovo observatory,” the artists say. As planned by the authors, the mark “left” the Supreme Court and the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In early June, it became known that the Pulkovo observatory will close all its observation programs for five years and transfer them to other bases. Such a decision was made in the Russian Academy of Sciences. This was preceded by several years of disputes and courts due to construction in the protective zone of the Planetograd residential complex. Employees of the Pulkovo Observatory and city defenders have talked many times about the fact that the construction would be illegal and interfere with observations.

On June 26, the police detained the defenders of the Pulkovo Observatory, when they tried to transfer the appeal to the president and the poster with the text that the termination of observations in the institution was “a blow to national security and damage to Russian science”.
