Two t-shirts for sale at the Vernisazh. On the left, the image of camouflage-wearing Putin astride a snarling bear is inscribed “Forward, Russia [Rossiia vperyod]” with the letters decorated in the floral khokhloma style associated with traditional culture and folk authenticity. On the right, we see Putin poised to inflict corporal punishment on world leaders Hollande, Merkel, and Obama, who are depicted as wayward children. The text reads: “Do you now finally understand how naughty you’ve been?”
