Banksy Bankrolls Russian Radicals

Banksy is to donate over $125,000 (£80,000) to the controversial Russian art collective, Voina, two of whose members are in prison awaiting trial on charges of hooliganism. The proceeds will come from a print sale to take place tomorrow.

Voina is notorious for radical actions such as staging an orgy in a Moscow museum, painting a huge phallus on a bridge in St Petersburg, and throwing cats at McDonald’s employees to alleviate their boredom.
