Suggestion of adjustments to Controversy section

The first sentence of the Controvery section is very passive. Right now it functions as a topic sentence for the short paragraph below, however it is fairly indirect. Especially when the criticism did take specific forms, in terms of a protest actions at a showing of his photo work and well as the cancellation of a solo show. I would suggest changing the first sentence of that section to:

Kozatskyi has been criticized for social media posts depicting Nazi symbols, including a pizza decorated with a swastika, a photograph of a swastika tattoo on his leg, and a selfie wearing a sweatshirt decorated with Nazi symbols and the neo-Nazi number slogan 14/88.^[1]^[2]

Next, something about his statements in response claiming that the pictures were intended as mockery of Russian propaganda should be added to the second paragraph. They are described in the Anania citation.

Also, as per WP:CSECTION, we should consider integrating the critiques of his use of Nazi imagery into the body of the article, rather than seperating it out into its own section. If that section is kept, we should also consider changing the section name to be more specific, something like Use of Nazi Symbols. Handpigdad (talk) 07:57, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
