Moscow. 16 Oct. INTERFAX.RU — Actionist-an emigrant from Russia, Peter Pavlensky, who organized the night of Monday an attack on a branch of the Bank of France in Paris, explained that the goal of his actions — the revolutionary fire throughout the world.
“The Bank of France took place on the place de La Bastille (the Bastille prison during the revolution was a symbol of the French monarchy — if), the bankers took the place of monarchs. The French revolution made France a symbol of freedom for the whole world. In 1917, thanks to this symbol, Russia rushed to freedom. However, a hundred years later the tyranny reigns again, and it happens everywhere. The revival of revolutionary France will cause a revolutionary fire throughout the world. In this fire, Russia will begin their release,” lead the French media of the words Pavlensky.
