Prosecutor’s Office: St Petersburg artist Elena Osipova to have her paintings checked for ‘fakes about military’
Paintings of Elena Osipova exhibited at a Yabloko party office in Saint Petersburg will be checked for “fake news about the Russian military”, the party’s PR office has told Novaya-Europe. “During the inspection, a total of 19 graphic images were confiscated, some of them containing writings that apparently provide false information about the actions of Russia’s armed forces,” the local prosecutor’s office responded to an inquiry by Alexander Shishlov, the local party leader.
