 Tolokonnikova was part of a performance in which couples were photographed having sex in the Timiryazev State Biology Museum in Moscow in February 2008 . This exhibitionist act was intended as a satire of Dmitry Medvedev 's call to increase the birth rate in Russia , but was typically described as an " orgy " by the media . President Putin , in an interview about whether the prison sentence was justified , also invoked the defendants ' prior actions in Voina stunts : " They had a group sex session in a public place . They then uploaded it onto the Internet . The authorities should have looked into this , too . "
