Art-центр art Association "Mitki" in St-Петербурге filled with boiling water. From-за severe frosts has broken through a heating pipe between the floors. About three dozen paintings have suffered from water, including work under the name of "the People". A similar accident has happened in art-центре in 2012, and then the utility was assured of Dmitry Shagin, one of the founders of the Mitki group that all the pipes repaired.

"We like-то so relaxed. So many paintings have suffered. I didn't expect. The idea is that the picture should have been where-то to hide. And flows in that very hall, where the exhibition and where my workshop. It was impossible to store anything there. To paint and to carry away", — complained about the situation Dmitry Shagin in an interview with TV channel "St.-Петербург".

Victims of the painting were supposed to go to the exhibition. Now they have to find a replacement. After drying work will go for restoration.
