Artist Semyon Skrepetsky was killed in Poland. He drew caricatures of Putin and Kadyrov, and three days before his death he staged an action outside the Russian embassy in Berlin

Russian performance artist Semyon Skrepetsky was killed on June 15 in the city of Biala Podlaska. Two Belarusian citizens have been detained in the murder case, including the taxi driver who brought the participants in the attempt from Warsaw. However, the direct perpetrator of the killing has not yet been detained.

Skrepetsky was known for his caricatures, for example of Vladimir Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov. Skrepetsky left for Poland in 2021, fearing persecution. On June 12, three days before his death, he held an action outside the Russian embassy in Berlin. The artist brought to the diplomatic mission building a painting of Putin in Stalin’s arms. After this action, Skrepetsky received threats, which he wrote about in his Telegram channel on the day of the killing.
