"The brief laser show starts with the message 'Happy Birthday Obama' before a likeness of the president appears on the side of the building and a banana slides into his mouth.
A group called the Moscow Student's Initiative have claimed responsibility for the stunt. "The brief laser show starts with the message 'Happy Birthday Obama' before a likeness of the president appears on the side of the building and a banana slides into his mouth.
Russia has been accused of failing to crack down on racism in recent years, particularly at football matches where fans have been seen throwing bananas at the feet of black players.
Only hours before the racist stunt a banner was unfurled on a building across the road from the embassy that featured caricatures of Obama with the words, 'I don't see … I don't hear … I don't speak the truth to anybody'."
