Russian artists and art historians came out in support of those involved in the “Penza case”
Russian artists, art historians, curators, gallery owners, collectors and museum workers wrote an open letter in support of those involved in the “Penza case”, sentenced to up to 18 years in prison. The statement was published on the Artguide website. “There is no justification for torture. This is the highest manifestation of indifference and hatred towards the human person, this is a sign of the degeneration of individuals into sadists and rapists,” the appeal says.
