#Kozyreva was detained on February 24, the second anniversary of #Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, after she glued a poster on a monument to prominent #Ukrainian writer, poet, and thinker #Taras_Shevchenko with an excerpt of a well-known poem from his book, My Testament:

Oh, bury me, then rise ye up

And break your heavy chains

And water with the tyrants' blood

The freedom you have gained.

The poster was so strongly glued to the monument that police were unable to remove it and had to cover it with a black plastic bag.

#Kozyreva was initially charged with vandalism in January last year after she left a comment in December 2022 on an art installation symbolizing "friendship" between #St_Petersburg and #Ukraine's city of #Mariupol, which was destroyed by #Russian bombs at the start of the invasion.
