On the evening of February 8, in Krasnoyarsk, 48 hours were detained for 48 hours of the famous artist Vasily Slonov, at home and in the workshop he had searches. Judging by the decree published by the artist, a criminal case has been instituted against Ilekov (part 1 of article 282.4 of the Criminal Code) on the fact of demonstrating extremist symbols by a person who has already been subjected to administrative punishment under Part 1 of Art. 20.3 Administrative Code. In October last year, Ilekunova was already fined for this article for 1 thousand rubles: in September, the Gulag-Toys exhibition and sale was held in the Krasnoyarsk hotel of Novotel. Among the exhibits there was a non -naval (“who did not fall - he never rose”, etc.) with prison tattoos, including With eight -pointed stars. Thieves - their urks are stuffed on collarbone and knees. These stars are now considered a symbol of AUE ( “The Prisoner Obtained”, the movement is recognized as extremist and is prohibited ).
Then the Center for Combating Extremism of the Krasnoyarsk Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs conducted an audit, a protocol was drawn up at the elephant, the court wrote out a fine, and also decided to confiscate and destroy the art object. As far as it is known, after that, the elephants did not remove the photo of the Nevalyashki in his VKontakte social network, and now the criminal is already. Now all his accounts in social networks are deleted.
Gulag-Toys toys the elephant toys opened in 2021: “The name was chosen to confront <...> the dictatorship of the Brand“ Children's World ”and others like him ... The task is to create a counter-cultural counterpart of the global gaming pop culture. Since the main charm of Russia is precisely in pleasant prolonged nightmares, the toys should be appropriate. ”
Then the first lot for 3 thousand was a dummy with barbed wire.
Organs, of course, cannot be mistaken. But they can probably be underdeveloped. In fact, Krasnoyarsk always, since Soviet times, favorably differed from other Russian cities in that, for example, not a Soviet star, but a real Bethlehem tree, that is, the same eight-pointed, in a new classification, aued. But she is not only shining to the Urkagans - everyone. It, for example, shines with bas -relief ornaments of the facades of ancient stone houses in the center of Krasnoyarsk. Carved decor on wooden houses - chicken paws and diagonal crosses (folk amulets), and on stone - the same, eight -pointed ones. Does this mean that someday they will get to the owners of these houses? Many, however, are at the disposal of the municipality, he also organizes the New Year tree.
Maybe the investigation will reach the mayor?
Elephants in itself are one of the most famous brands of Krasnoyarsk. For his work in private collections of Western European cities, as well as for the fate of collectors, you can not worry, but what will the collectors from the Moscow Barviha will do, where there are enough crafts? Well, or there are (perhaps it is already worth talking in the past tense), for example, in the Gogol Center.

It is impossible not to notice the striking rhyme with one publication of Novaya Gazeta from 2016 - about the gang of Asheul (Andrei Ascheulov) and the struggle with her journalist Mikhail Afanasyev. Later, for threats to the journalist and the obstruction of his professional activity, Ashcheul will be added for 2 years and 2 months, in general it will turn out a term of 18 years and 2 months.
So, before that, the “new” investigated this fight in the Siberian Kushchevka in the Kuraginsky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. And, in particular, I published from the Artem’s account (not to be confused with Andrei) Ascheulov in “Odnoklassniki” (there was an AUE on the avatar there, then not forbidden) a child of a child of three or four years old with an imitation (well, in any case, I wanted to hope for imitation) with a pen or felt-tip pens of those same tattoos: thieves' stars, spikeing wire through a spike wire The whole forehead, rings on all fingers, an eplege on one shoulder, the inscription on the belly “not for you, [fallen women or just people reduced social responsibility], to judge me!”.
Nevalyashka elephant is just a copy of this child. Only the inscription is somewhat changed: "Not for you, ... to dig in my soul."
So, what we have: Sitting Ascheul or not is unknown - it could well go out, the path is known. But the journalist Afanasyev sits - for Fakes about the Armed Forces (5.5 years). As his relatives testify and how he himself wrote to me in a letter from prison, in the case there are testimonies of the very representatives of the criminals with whom he fought.
Well, now they will now judge an artist who has not reflected reality. And they could trade these universes in IKEA around the world.
