Activists angry at the jail sentences handed down to Russian punk band Pussy Riot have made a statement by placing bright balaclavas over the heads of statues.
The head gear was made famous across the world when the female trio performed their single Punk Prayer in Moscow cathedral against the return of Vladimir Putin to presidency.
The brightly coloured balaclavas have been placed on the heads of figures in the Bulgarian-Soviet friendship memorial in Varna, Bulgaria, to show support for the band.

On Friday Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Yekaterina Samutsevich, 30, and Maria Alyokhina, 24, were found guilty of "hooliganism" motivated by religious hatred and were sentenced to two years imprisonment each.
Samutsevich said in her closing statement: "I now have mixed feelings about this trial. On the one hand, we expect a guilty verdict. Compared to the judicial machine, we are nobodies, and we have lost.
"On the other hand, we have won. The whole world now sees that the criminal case against us has been fabricated.
"The system cannot conceal the repressive nature of this trial. Once again, the world sees Russia differently than the way Putin tries to present it at his daily international meetings.
"Clearly, none of the steps Putin promised to take toward instituting the rule of law has been taken.
"And his statement that this court will be objective and hand down a fair verdict is yet another deception of the entire country and the international community."
