On the afternoon of August 6, ahead of the
announcement of the verdicts
in the controversial “Novoe Velichie” (New Greatness) extremism case, a small group of activists held a
protest action
outside of Moscow’s Lublinsky Court. One activist, dressed in a police uniform, recited a poem that ended with the phrase “a sacrifice is being made here” and then proceeded to slit the throat of a mannequin with a box cutter, releasing a stream of fake blood. The paint spattered the clothes of one of the defendants in the case,
Anna Pavlikova
(pictured above). Police officers arrested three protesters involved in the action.
