1. The march will end with a rally (and possibly even a short concert), and that takes money. What was collected earlier has run out. The fact that some members of the organizing committee had a great vacation abroad has nothing to do with this, don’t get any ideas. Naive, aren’t you. But we want to hold another rally, and we also want another classy vacation overseas, so let me remind you about the fundraiser: Olga Romanova, our treasurer, has a Yandex.Money wallet: 410011232431933. Here are detailed instructions on how to send your hard-earned cash there. Leading by personal example, I’m transferring 3,000 rubles, and I urge everyone to do the same. After all, that money will make its way back to me eventually, and I’ll buy mojitos with it and drink them surrounded by Creole women. No, seriously, we do need the money, and no one but us is going to raise it. Don’t be stingy with 100 rubles—you’ll only waste it on something completely useless anyway. Like food. 2. Usually people hand out flyers to gather a crowd for a rally. But we decided to do the opposite: hand out flyers to the people who come to the rally, so they can spread them all over Moscow afterward. Actually, not flyers—stickers. RosVybory has printed 18,000 of these stickers.
We’ll hand them out during the march and ask everyone to stick them up somewhere near their home, in a good high-traffic spot. But to distribute all 18,000 stickers, we need volunteers—and that’s exactly who I’m calling on now. If you want to help, write to us at rosvybory@gmail.com 3. On February 2, volunteers are organizing an action called “Breaking the Information Blockade” — a series of one-person pickets calling on people to come to the February 4 march, along with flyer distribution. Here is the Facebook group for the action (1,240 people have confirmed participation). Here is the VK group (249 people). Metro stations are being assigned here. Join us.
