[spectre] Re: Re: In memoriam: [...] Oleg Kireev

[stephen kovats]

hi all,

this is absolutely shocking - and disturbing news! Oleg was certainly  
more than an activist, whether VIP or not, but a brilliant artist  
whose art was the language of critical discourse and action where -  
to echo Inke's words - such forms of expression are not readily  
accepted as art but as subversive activity against the state. It's  
incredible, and for me somewhat incomprehensible, that these  
pressures may have contributed to Oleg's loss.

it's very sad, and perhaps a wake up call of sorts ...

greetings,

Stephen
