  "account": "Oleg Vorotnikov, the leader of the Russian art group “Voina,” known as Vor Voiny, was arrested in Berlin on October 5. The art collective announced on social media that Vorotnikov was cycling near the former Karl Bonhoeffer psychiatric clinic when a car struck him. Police arrived on the scene and detained the 33-year-old artist. Earlier, Vorotnikov's 17-year-old son, Casper Sokol, also known as Nenaglyadny, was apprehended by authorities inside Schöneberg district city hall. A judge subsequently ordered Casper's detention at the Tempelhof police detention facility. Natalia Sokol, Oleg's wife and the group's coordinator, remains at large, as do their four daughters: Mama, Troitsa, Lyonya, and their one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Armia. The authorities have not provided a reason for the detentions.",
