German satirical artist Jacques Tilly has been sued in Russia by Vladimir Putin for defaming the Russian state by making carnival sculptures in Germany — outside Putin's dystopian jurisdiction — so it would be a real shame, if that made us share his artworks and embarrass Putin even further.

@randahl I don't suppose Herr Tilly is planning on visiting Russia anytime soon though so I imagine he can rest easy.

@capnthommo Putin has already killed people in the EU, he wanted to get rid of.

In one case, he killed a defected Russian helicopter pilot who had fled to Spain. Authorities found him gunned down in a parking garage.
