They put this somewhat rough but quite large anatomical graffito on a drawbridge so that it would be raised and lowered. The point?
'We have painted a giant phallus to show what the FSB and Interior Ministry are doing in terms of security for the forum,' Voina said in a statement. The FSB is Russia's main internal security agency, the successor to the KGB - and when the bridge is raised, the now-erect penis stands right beside its local headquarters.
The International Economic Forum will bring together politicians, including Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, and international business leaders.
The penis was painted on Monday, and one of the Voina artists has subsequently been fined by police over the penis. The penis was still visible on Wednesday.
I'm not sure what the takeaway is--crude? Effective?
Kinda funny.
