Banksy had bailed two members of the Russian arts collective Voina
("War") out of a horrific St Petersburg prison, where they were being
held indefinitely awaiting trial. Voina is known for many provocative
pieces, including the giant penis painted on a drawbridge facing
secret police headquarters. Leonid Nikolayev and Oleg Vorotnikov and
Oleg's wife have since been cruelly beaten by secret policemen who
also brutalized Oleg's toddler, Casper. The pair now face punitive
psychotherapy, a practice widely feared in the Soviet era, when
dissidents were committed to ghastly asylums.
