The limited liability company Slovonovo Msk, owned by gallery owner Marat Gelman*, will be forcibly liquidated by decision of the Federal Tax Service. “Slovonovo” is the name of the forum that Gelman has held in Budva (Montenegro) since 2018.

In November 2023, Gelman visited Ukraine, where he met with militants of the terrorist unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the “Russian Freedom Legion”**, which is banned in the Russian Federation.
