Konstantin Altunin
Konstantin Viktorovich Altunin (Russian: Константин Викторович Алтунин, born December 21, 1967) is a Russian painter from Arkhangelsk, Russia.[1] He left Russia following a controversy after a painting of Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev in women’s underwear had been seized by St. Petersburg authorities.[2][3][4] He has been exhibiting paintings since 2000.
Other controversial paintings by Altunin
On another painting Altunin depicted the politician Vitaly Milonov against a rainbow background. The rainbow is the symbol of the LGBT community.[5] He also produced a painting with Putin wearing women’s underwear and painted a sculpted head of Lenin with dripping rainbow colors.
gollark: It might become obsolete if a RXGT+ 2130 (I fully expect the naming scheme of the next generation to be this bad) is made, which presumably will be somewhat cheaper than my card and perform similarly.
gollark: My GTX 1050 is arguably still not obsolete since there is no similarly priced newer competitor from Nvidia.
gollark: You should complain to redidit.
gollark: The best ÇPU for this? Probably an LN2-cooled overclocked 28 core Xeoñ W.
