A Russian man was arrested and hospitalised after stripping naked and then nailing his testicles to a cobblestone in Red Square. The performance artist, Pyotr Pavlensky, carried out the act in protest at what he described in a statement as Russia’s descent into a “police state”.
How is it that you wake up one day and think, “You know what, I’m feeling pretty pissed about the whole police state thing, I think I’ll go nail my testicles to the ground in Red Square in protest”?
