National pride can be a prickly subject for most artists – those who tackle it sometimes pay a high price. In Ukraine, a young artist was jailed for a performance that involved frying eggs over an eternal flame honouring fallen soldiers and commemorating the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.

A video of the event shows Sin'kova apparently explaining her performance to nearby police officers, who do nothing to stop her.

Nevertheless, more than three months after the performance, Anna Sin'kova was arrested and charged with "desecrating a grave". She faces up to five years in prison. On April 11, the Kiev court of appeals refused to release her on bail.
