The repeated slogan-insult of Vladimir Putin during pro-Ukrainian protests against Russia’s military aggression on Ukrainian territory became one of the popular communicative elements of resistance. Nikita Kadan, who works with political revelations and stories that highlight social contradictions both within Ukraine and beyond, created the series "Repeating Speech" in the early months of Russia's full-scale invasion. The series includes the slogan “Putin Huilo.” The artist writes this offensive phrase repeatedly on paper, emotionally expressing anger, aggression, and pain and such sharp emotions in the sense of danger and threat to life, freedom, and independence.

The practice of relentless repetition evokes the sense of an endless “cry into the void,” where the power of words is emphasized, yet it simultaneously undermines their actual value in preventing danger. The work raises questions about the role of the "politics of words" in the era of the "politics of weapons."
