A passage from a recent theatrical review from Moscow:
Before the curtain rose, [actor and director] Vladimir Mashkov’s voice issued a warning:
“This performance presents British values that are alien to us. Please note that some of them are punishable under the laws of the Russian Federation. We wish you an unforgettable evening.”
”Dear Lord, stop the war (please)”. A graffiti near Troitse-Lobanovo estate, about 30km outside Moscow
(The photo was shot this weekend; it was sent to me by a friend who is still in Russia)
The estate seemingly was initially built around the late XIV, c. but the current buildings, which are mostly ruined, are probably some time circa XVIII-XIX cc.).
You can see the Trinity church in the background.

"And that's not all. Democracy inspired oral sex. Turns out God protected people like that, too"
A quote is from the "Legal science: history and modernity" cited journal. The article, a conservative conspiracy piece, which is a hot topic in Russian journalistic, scientific and juridical circles the last few days, was promptly removed from the web version of this semi-respectable publ., yet they kept the original file online:
