PARIS, Oct 16 — A Ukrainian member of the Femen movement was slapped with over €6,000 (RM25,209) in fines yesterday for impaling a wax statue of Russian President Vladimir Putin with a stake, while bare-breasted, in a Paris museum.

Iana Jdanova, 26, is the first member of the women’s movement to be fined in France for their signature topless protests, which they have staged in the Notre Dame cathedral, on top of the Moulin Rouge cabaret and on the Champs Elysees avenue.

In June, the Ukrainian who has been exiled in France for two years, bared her breasts in the presidents’ hall of the Grevin Waxworks Museum.

With “Kill Putin” written in red across her chest she repeatedly stabbed the statue with what appeared to be a fake bloodied stake, while yelling “Putin dictator!”

1. That is just nuts

I do not agree with what Putin is doing but this just does not help the situation.

2. They should make a wax figure of her as well, and leave it as is

At least for the Halloween season!

3. This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase

"tough titty"

[Scootaloo]

4. Wax figures aren't cheap

[Iamthetruth]

5. Now that is art

Impressed!

6. I like how Putin is protecting his junk.

More power to the Femen movement. Brave women...and striking right at the inflated ego of a megalomaniacal autocrat.

7. I though the same thing!! And still expressionless.

[Major Hogwash]

8. OMG! She's my hero!

It looks like she stabbed Putin in the nuts first!



I love it!!!

[Hoppy]

9. and look at Obama, trying to pretend he ain't lookin' at those titties.

-- and Hubert Humphrey on Obama's left, "Don't you be lookin' at no white girl."

10. Putin and the . . . .

[Ash_F]

11. Wow, she totally brained him.

That's a little scary.

[delta17]

12. Wow.

I'm kind of at a loss for words. Looks like something out of a Rob Zombie movie.

[freshwest]

13. Oh, my.

[joshcryer]

14. That's an interesting one.

It's obviously an artistic type of hyperbolic performance art, but I wonder how well that'd go over here if it was our President. Obviously you'd get the property destruction charge, but I wonder if it'd be protected as speech.

15. And Presidents Obama and Hollande just stand there aloofly, doing nothing!

Almost like they don't care about what's happening to Vlad!

[Cha]

16. Not that interested.. lol
