Italy: Pussy Riot, FEMEN Storm Venice Biennale in Anti-Russia Protest

Around 50 activists from Pussy Riot and FEMEN stormed the Russian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale on Wednesday, May 6, during its opening preview marking Russia's first return to the prestigious art fair since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Wearing pink balaclavas and setting off colored smoke flares, protesters chanted for over 30 minutes. Italian police blocked entry to the pavilion, which temporarily closed its doors. The group dispersed without confrontation.
