On October 20, Natalya Beshenkovski, Lina Davik and Elina Kliss held a bloody puppet picket outside the Russian consulate in New York, Yulia Gorodetskaya reports on Facebook.

The organizer of the protest, Natalya, an artist and animation director, came up with and visualized the common grief of Ukrainians. Children in the blood. No arms, no legs, no life. Against the background of the Russian consulate, these images hit the heart in much the same way as photos from the executed Ukrainian cities. And passing people can not pass by. Stop, ask, thank.

Natalya used to come here for a solo puppet picket. Then she made 12 bloody figures, stood and left. An hour later they were already removed. But Lina and Elina found out about the action. They ordered dolls from Amazon and gave them to Natalya. The artist sublimated the pain. The result is 45 bloody plastic doll bodies.

“There are two reasons: firstly, I had very good teachers. My friends went to Red Square in 1968 - close friends. Therefore, when you live with the memory of such people all your life and call them your friends, it is natural ... I went to all the demonstrations that were in New York. And secondly, I am an artist and started my career as an animation director. Therefore, the idea of ​​working with dolls is natural for me. This was very annoying to do. Highly. In order to turn these dolls into something like this ... I worked on them for 10 days - it's terrible, ”Natalia admits.

Lina admitted that this action brought together many Ukrainians in New York.

“During these months we got to know each other - many people were strangers before. The feeling of helplessness makes you take part in everything that is possible. We met Natasha at fundraising events, and I just fell in love with what she does both as an artist and as a person. I recently saw her post a video [of the first picket]. It made the strongest impression on me. I asked her so that I could take part in this action with her. Many want to do their best. Unfortunately, only my husband's mother remained in our family from the older generation - she is 91 years old. And when we asked what she would like for her birthday, she asked to organize the delivery of money for her to Ukraine so that she would have the opportunity to help. This is the most important thing we can do now.”

Elina said: “You feel completely helpless: how to stop all this? Whom to reach out to and how to shout out? America could have closed the sky a long time ago and helped Ukraine.”

The world should not forget what a terrible price Ukraine pays for the inactivity of other countries in relation to Russia's military actions. It was this idea that the organizers of the action wanted to convey to those who saw it.
