Attempt from Belarus to bog Latvia down in burden of bureaucracy

De Facto tracked events centered on an individual named Dmitrijs Matajevs, a famous anti-war poster, a medical museum, and a local residents' association in a Riga commuter village. An anti-war poster by artist Krišis Salmanis appeared on the facade of the Pauls Stradiņš Museum of the History of Medicine a few weeks after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It was placed directly opposite the Russian embassy by residents of Antonijas Street, who also provided funds for it, and upon its appearance it attracted widespread international attention and acclaim, as reported by LSM at the time. This year, around the fourth anniversary of the war, an association called "Bukultu iēzētāji" (Bukulti stonemasons) asked the museum for detailed information about the poster - who initiated the placement of the poster, who made and installed it, with whom it was coordinated, and who paid. The museum responded.
