EMAIL FROM VOINA
Dear friends,
the Voina Group would like to thank you all for your support and help.
Without your media coverage Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolayev wouldn’t have any chance to be released. Today is their second day at large (In the attachment you can find photos of Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolayev being free again. The photos by Vladimir Telegin). But the charges against the artists still stand. The trial will be held soon. Again we can’t thank you enough for your every effort. Best regards, Alexei Plutser-Sarno, chief media artist of the Voina Group Yana Sarna, group’s editor and photographer

Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolaev, from Russian art group VOINA, released on bail: In December, Oleg and Loenid were arrested for making some pretty racy public art pieces. After spending three and a half months in a St. Petersberg jail infested with scurvey and TB we’re delighted to report that the pair have just been released. Officials at their court hearing were apparently unaware more than 400 punters had bought a Banksy print and the proceeds had been transferred over. A judge set bail at 600,000 roubles (a pretty unattainable amount for the average Russian) but they were able to produce all the cash on the spot and the pair walked free.
