In a propaganda war, spray-paint cans are the weapons
A “graffiti war” is on, says Piotr Nikitin, a Russian anti-Kremlin activist in Belgrade. Opposite a school where a shooting on May 3rd killed ten people, a mural of Vladimir Putin has been repainted repeatedly to support Ukraine . One honouring Ratko Mladic, a Serbian war criminal, is frequently defaced and restored.
Passions are high. After Mr Nikitin asked local media to report on repaintings of the Putin mural in which he participated, Serbia’s president disparaged Mr Nikitin on. The artist was detained for 44 hours on landing in Belgrade on July 13th. Another anti-war Russian, Ilya Zernov, fled to Germany after being beaten for painting over graffiti that read “Death to Ukraine”.
