“Assign punishment to Chuprikov in the form of three years in prison with a sentence in a maximum security colony,” the judge quotes TASS.
It is noted that during this period nine months are counted, which the defendant spent in jail.
The prosecutor requested that the man be sentenced to four years in prison.
On January 27, Chuprikov removed the painting from the wall, removed the canvas from the frame, left the museum building and went into the street.
Subsequently, he pleaded guilty and explained his actions by the fact that he wanted to attract attention.
Director of the Tretyakov Gallery Zelfira Tregulova reprimanded. The museum was instructed to take comprehensive measures to protect the exhibits.
