An object d’art by Russian street artist Zoom in the form of a bas-relief of Medusa Gorgon, which resembles Lukashenka, appeared recently in the center of St. Petersburg. The artist posted photos of his work with the caption “Evil is Near” and the hashtag #zhyvebelarus (Long Live Belarus).
However, the street art did not last long: soon after the information about the work was spread on the Internet, the utility workers removed it.

In his works, the street art artist Zoom uses folk symbols that urge modern citizens to pay attention to social problems. In Russia, the artist is called the “Moscow Banksy”.
