Pussy Riot and Femen Protest Russia at Venice Biennale

Pussy Riot and Femen staged a protest at the Venice Biennale against Russia's participation, with smoke bombs and anti-Putin slogans. The demonstration took place at the Russian pavilion during the Biennale's preview. The protest was part of broader opposition to the presence of both Russia and Israel at the art exhibition. The previews were marred by these protests and related boycotts and threats.
