Artyom Loskutov

Artyom Loskutov (born September 15, 1986) is a Russian performance artist and an activist. He is known for an annual Monstration held in Novosibirsk that gently pokes fun at Kremlin policies. He has been arrested for insulting police. In response to the incident he said, "You're not a real Russian until you've been arrested."
In 2013, Loskutov was informed by Russian authorities that he is no longer allowed to practice art and to perform as an individual artist.
Loskutov exhibited at London's Saatchi Gallery in November 2017 as part of the Art Riot exhibition. There was some controversy as he had merely constructed a frame for a work by artist Mariya Kiselyova (police originally attributed the overall work to Loskutov, and Kiselyova's role was often sidelined).
Awards.
In 2010, Russian news organization "Action" named Loskutov "Young Person of the Year."
