Vandals spray-painted the word ‘paedophiles’ on the wall of a modern art museum in St. Petersburg ahead of a performance based on Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov's most famous book. Anastasia Blokhina, press secretary of the Erarta museum, said the graffiti made with black paint was later erased from the wall.
Nabokov, who lived in St. Petersburg until 1917, is best known for Lolita, the story of a teacher who becomes sexually involved with a 12-year-old girl.
The Nabokov museum on Bolshaya Morskaya street in St. Petersburg has already been vandalised twice this year by protesters.
