A Siberian artist sold out of his supply of “bribery envelopes” imprinted with the text of the Russian criminal code, as a government sponsored anti-corruption forum unfolds in Moscow this week.
Vasily Slonov created and sold the first 100 of his potential graft carriers for 100 rubles (about US$1.95). Each one is emblazoned with the phrase: ”Friends, let’s make life beautiful. Let’s improve the culture of giving bribes,” according to the Moscow Times.
Slonov claims the envelopes were purchased by everyday citizens and bureaucrats alike. He is printing more and says that they will eventually be sold by the Winzavod Contemporary Art Center in Moscow.
