On January 31 in St. Petersburg, an exhibit of Yelena Osipova’s work opened in the offices of a branch of the Yabloko political party. The exhibit displayed the 77-year-old artist and activists’s anti-war posters.

On February 1, the day after the exhibit opened, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cordoned off the exhibit premises, said they’d received information about a bomb threat, and seized the posters.
