The painting “CORONATION” by Rudy Krymsky depicts the inauguration of Putin. The artist sees this process as the “coronation” of a crime boss. Tattoos on Putin's body speak about his preferences or "philosophy of life": the inscription USSR (the state in which he was born), the inscription KGB (his former service in the State Security Committee), the portrait of Stalin (his political idol), the Double-headed eagle (symbolizes his dreams of the revival of the Russian Empire), the Orthodox cross (religion helps in his propaganda). These tattoos also have other meanings in the criminal world. In his painting, the artist put a mask on Putin’s face (the mask of Hannibal Lecter from the film “The Silence of the Lambs”) to show the bloodthirstiness of the head of the criminal gang “Russian World”, his pathological need to kill.

Putin and his gang have established mafia methods of government in Russia. In fact, they have made Russia a large criminal zone in which mafia laws apply. Such a zone is easy to control using the rules of the criminal world. They legalized (legitimized) the dictatorial regime, theft and corruption. They arrest, torture and kill political opponents, journalists, writers, artists, actors, musicians, and other people who dare to speak the truth. The Putin gang, like any mafia structure, has huge appetites. So Putin’s bandits will sooner or later want to control more and more territories, including the territories of European countries. This criminal group can only be stopped by military force. Ukrainians know about this. That is why they are so desperately opposed to Putin’s gang.
