Russia’s Ambassador to Bulgaria Eleonora Mitrofanova was expelled by the audience during the opening of an exhibition at the National Gallery Square 500 in Sofia. Upon Mitrofanova’s arrival, those present at the exhibition began chanting "This is not Moscow", "This is Europe", "Glory to Ukraine" and "Murderer". The diplomat responded several times in Russian but eventually left the gallery.

The exhibition titled "The Art of Behaving Badly" showcases for the first time in Bulgaria the art of Guerrilla Girls – iconic posters, videos and installations from the permanent collections of the world’s most significant museums and galleries (MoMA, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou), reports BGNES.
