Russian 'artist' nails his genitals to the ground outside Red Square
 

MOSCOW -- A Russian performance artist nailed his genitals to the ground outside Moscow's Red Square in protest over Russia's "police state" as the country marked national police day.

A video shows naked Pyotr Pavlensky sitting on Russia's most famous square just outside the Kremlin on Sunday afternoon after nailing himself to the ground. Police first took him to the hospital and then into custody.

Interfax news agency said that a court dismissed charges of "petty hooliganism" and released him Monday.

Pavlensky, who has long been known for his self-mutilating stunts, told Dozhd television he wanted to warn that "we are on the threshold of becoming a police state."

In the summer of 2012, Pavlensky sewed his mouth closed to protest the imprisonment of three members of Pussy Riot band.

lol :1orglaugh

what a freak lol

Hope he was careful, missing and hitting his thumb would have hurt.

The only cause this brings attention to is the state of his mental health. Congratulations Russian Pete, and thank you for taking a proactive stance in promoting Darwinism. Hopefully, you will no longer be able to breed.

He commands respect.

And he deserves a good old fashioned telling off. And a clap round the back of the head with a rolled up newspaper. What a plum!

so far this seems to have a bigger impact than immolation?

It's his plums i feel sorry for... :Oh crap
