       Russian Pavilion at Venice Biennale Art Exhibition.There has been concern over Russia's reinstatement ever since it was announced by Moscow earlier this year.The European Commission has "strongly condemned" the move and threatened to pull €2 million in funding for the Biennale. It argues that "Allowing the aggressor, Russia, to shine" on such a platform is against ethical standards linked to the grant.
