"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?"
