Sometimes you learn something strange while tagging vacation shots. At least that was the case with this photo I took in Venice:<\/p>\n

\"K-141<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for some proper tags I Googled \u201cK-141\u201d and found a Wikipedia article on the Russian submarine Kursk<\/a>. I pulled out the proper Russian text to use as tags but was puzzled about the reason behind the stencil. <\/p>\n

I decided to let my direct colleagues in on the mystery and mailed it around at the office. Soon after, Peter<\/a> pointed out that the same stencil art was blogged at zombizi zero-six<\/a> and Wooster Collective<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Quite entertaining, but it gets even weirder. He pointed out this link<\/a>, which apparently proves the stencil spree was part of Russia\u2019s presence at the 51st Venice Biennale\u2026<\/p>\n

Bart<\/a> rightly pointed out that it\u2019s strange they didn\u2019t get caught doing it. I mean: wouldn\u2019t it be easy for the police to hold the Russians at the Biennale responsible for this blatant act of \u201cvandalism\u201d?<\/p>\n
