This animation is an artistic parody of the famous Wordle game where you have to guess the secret word, only in this Russian version, the opening word is always "Putin" and the secret word is always "War".

I got the idea to create this piece after a protester was detained in Russia for holding up a poster saying "*** *****" (symbolizing "нет войне”, “no to war”).

The middle row contains a capacious Russian swear word, which means the whole puzzle can be read as both “Putin, go fck yourself, war” and “Putin, why the fck war?”

100% of the sales will be donated to the Reporters without Borders fund supporting independent Russian journalists who dare to speak up against the war.
