позорэрмитажу, or “Shame on you, Hermitage”. The number of posts in Instagram

tagged this way amounted to nearly 10,000 by late November. The museum then organized an event to meet the public and explain the exhibition after refusing to stop the exhibition which was slated to last up to April 2017.
