Voina are a group of revolutionary artists. The most controversial of all was Voina's final stunt before the arrests, which the artists called "Palace Revolution". Members overturned seven police cars, some of them with officers inside, at St Petersburg's Palace Square one night last September.

controversy, but they're also going to attract some
allies.
Right now, they're just trying to dodge the fuzz. Who knows? Maybe they're just
dicks.
