Mickey Mouse Earns Curator Criminal Charges


Russian prosecutors have summoned Yuri Samodurov, director of the Sakharov Museum in Moscow, to a hearing Tuesday, where he will be charged for his role in organizing the March 2007 exhibition, “Forbidden Art – 2006.” The charges stem from an investigation that was opened shortly after the exhibition debuted into whether Samodurov had incited religious hatred by displaying pornography-infused art works, some mocking the Russian Orthodox Church. The exhibition featured several alleged controversial works, including one depicting Christian worshipers praying to Mickey Mouse instead of Jesus Christ and another with a Russian general raping a male soldier next to the words “Glory to Russia!” More on this from the International Herald Tribune.
