In Krivoy Rog the artist was forced to "decommunize" a mural
"Three policemen came and forced to paint over a huge mural painted on the back wall of our house," the wife of the artist Liudmila Riabokon told reporters. "For what reason? Who complained? The policemen did not say anything, only threatened with a big fine. Well, we got a pension, bought paint and painted the mural over. What could we do?"
Later it was found out that the local resident, a veteran of the military operation in the Donbass, complained about the mural. He told the police that he was "tired of looking at those mugs."
