Russian artist and Putin critic shot dead in Poland
A Russian artist and vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin was found shot dead in his apartment in Warsaw, Poland. The body of Andrei Petrov, 47, was discovered by his neighbors on Tuesday evening.
Petrov, known for his provocative and politically charged artworks, had been living in Poland for the past five years after facing threats in Russia due to his criticism of the Kremlin. The artist’s paintings often depicted themes critical of Putin’s government and its policies.
