Images of Bucha reproduced by a brave protester on Moscow streets
Link to tweet
On some of Moscow’s most recognisable streets, a hooded man lies face down, arms bound behind his back with white cord.
A week ago the images captured in these photographs would have had little meaning.
But after pictures emerged showing the corpses of Ukrainian civilians killed in cold blood on the streets of Bucha, the message of protest is clear. The residents of Bucha had also been bound with white ties, before being shot in the head.
Small acts of defiance such as this — thought to have been the work of a Moscow artist — are becoming increasingly common in Russia, with mass street protests now all but snuffed out by heavy policing.
