  • New article, well sourced, long enough, etc. However, this source suggests that the hook is inaccurate as the situation is much more complex than it implies. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:14, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
  • What do you suggest? He became the spokesman and representative but was later disowned? That does indeed get a bit complex (and long). Sionk (talk) 00:46, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that during a 2010 court case Pyotr Verzilov burst into the court and dumped a bag full of live cockroaches?
As the court prepared to hear the verdict, radical Russian artist Pyotr Verzilov stormed the courtroom, lambasting authorities and letting out dozens of cockroaches from a bag.
*ALT2 ... that when Pyotr Verzilov was part of Voina, they would protest by having sex in public?
Verzilov, famous in Russia for unconventional art performances — which include public sex with a very pregnant Tolokonnikova in a Moscow museum in 2008 — got his start.
  • For what it's worth, I agree ALT1 is quite punchy! Sionk (talk) 17:33, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Sorry for my absence, last week was crazy. I like both alt hooks in general. For ALT2, though, I'm not sure what they were "protesting" with their public sex. ALT1 and ALT3 (below) get the checkmark. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:26, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
  • ALT3 ... that when Pyotr Verzilov was part of Voina, he and his pregnant wife engaged in sex in public?
