The complete list of Forbidden Art exhibition works is published by Russia! for your viewing pleasure. This Monday, Russian court found the curators responsible for the Forbidden Art exhibition that took place in 2007 guilty in inciting religious and ethnic hatred.

Yuri Samodurov and Andrei Yerofeev were fined $5000 instead of the three-year prison sentence demanded by the government. The case was brought to court by the ultra-nationalist movement activists who claimed that the exhibition is anti-orthodox and should not be allowed in Russia. During the last week of the trial, the official spokesman of the Russian Orthodox Church and some prominent government officials, including the Minister of Culture, asked the court not to “punish the curators harshly”.
