The "Russian Banksy" Is Dead

The “Russian Banksy” Is Dead:

1. Glasses

Glasses

One of Pasha’s more famous works: oversized glasses with one arm made from a lamppost, the rest drawn in snow.
He was given the name “Russian Banksy” by the British press. He didn’t like it, because he had been producing his own work for 14 years, well before he had heard of Banksy.

2. ”Instigators of Bridges”

A rioter with a flare on an overpass.
At night, flames were lit on the piece.

4. Spaghetti

5. Wings

6. Pulp Fiction

According to an interview he did with adme.ru, Pasha unsurprisingly said he hated advertising.
His work was remarkably varied, and very creative — much more so than Banksy’s.

8. Christmas

Pasha did most of his work in and around Moscow.

10. Riot Police

11. ”Surveillance”

Armed surveillance camera of the future?
Very 1984.
My favorite piece.

12. Pasha 183

Lenta.ru reports his real name may have been Pasha Andropov.
They also stated that no details were available on his death.
