A Russian artist known for his grotesque caricatures of President Putin and the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has been shot dead in Poland.
Robert Kuzovkov, who used the pseudonym Semyon Skrepetsky, was shot five times in the head, chest and back in Biala Podlaska, a city close to Poland’s border with Belarus, officials said.
Last Friday Kuzovkov protested outside the Russian embassy in Berlin with a satirical painting of Putin and Joseph Stalin. It depicted a tiny Putin sitting on Stalin’s lap. He also stuffed a Russian flag into a bin during the protest, which was staged on the Russia Day national holiday.
The execution-style killing took place in a car park 600 metres from the consulate of Belarus, a key Russian ally, where a gunman approached Kuzovkov and fired two shots.
“When the victim fell to the ground, the perpetrator approached, fired three more shots and then quickly fled,” Marcin Kozak, a spokesman for the local district prosecutor’s office, said.
Two Belarusian citizens have been detained in connection with the killing. A Geco 9mm Luger bullet and shell casings were discovered at the scene.

On Saturday Kuzovkov posted a painting on Telegram showing Kadyrov and his teenage son, Adam, as pigs. His work included sexually explicit images of Kadyrov that suggested the Chechen leader was gay. He also mocked Apti Alaudinov, the commander of Chechnya’s Akhmat special forces unit.

A bullet in the head is what the brave get. RIP
Amertures and posers. Really I wonder why you worship all these clowns and their regimes? If they were that badass, they wouldn’t have been caught. I had 749 kills and still alive and well.
