Vasya Lozhkin’s painting “Great Beautiful Russia” was excluded from the list of extremist materials
The Oktyabrsky District Court of Novosibirsk, as part of a repeated trial, refused to recognize Vasya Lozhkin’s painting “The Great Beautiful Russia” as extremist. RIA Novosti reports this from the courtroom. Vladimir Ryakhovsky, a lawyer and member of the Presidential Council for Human Rights, opposed the recognition of the film as extremist. According to him, the film is satirical, deliberately hyperbolic in nature and ridicules everyday nationalism and xenophobia.
