Everyone is outraged because of this:
So what? People are expressing their attitude toward certain public figures in a particular way. Freedom of expression. As for Alexeyeva herself, I doubt she gives a damn. And as for Svanidze, this fellow fully deserves that cockade. He worked so hard on the zombie box (slang for television) that even Goebbels would have pinned a medal on him. He fawned as much as he could over those guys who come to this camp as special_guest_stars. So when it comes to the installation itself, I’m completely calm. But. What really pisses me off is that all this crap is being paid for with public money. That’s a different matter. They took a ruble from each of us so that seasoned crooks could come and train younger crooks, eager to take part in a cheerful and cynical looting spree. We’ll dance in the rain with Volodin and Surkov dressed in a turnip costume, and then they’ll let us latch onto Gazprom. And everyone who’s against it will get insulting pictures slapped on them at the taxpayers’ expense. Let them collect membership dues and then stage artistic actions of any degree of aggression or civic virtue they like. Besides, the kleptocratic regime first pushes amendments banning Nazi and other symbols, and then funds their production as part of a "youth innovation camp." I highly recommend reading Article 20.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses So I think I’ll file a complaint about this. Let them at least fine Vasya Yakemenko and his goons. They got exactly what they were fighting for. A classic case.
