High resolution (color) High resolution (black and white) Prize — 15,000 rubles. All the posters that made it to the final (as well as many others) can be downloaded for printing here. Print them out. Carefully tape them up in the elevator and on the entrance door to your apartment building. Of course they’ll get torn down. Let them tear them down. Let’s assume that each poster only needs to be seen by two people.  If it stays up longer and ten people see it, that’s fantastic. No more is needed. In my elevator, a poster like this stays up for no more than 20–30 minutes—I’ve checked. Right now, before the election, the building caretaker just goes around tearing down and collecting any campaign materials except pro-Putin ones (those are neatly displayed behind plexiglass). And that’s fine—there’s no need for it to stay up longer. It’s no trouble for me to print 20 posters and spend 30 seconds during the day + 30 seconds in the evening putting one up. And if you spend 15 minutes a day posting them, you’ll get a guaranteed reach of a hundred people. And so on. If we really want to, we can tell everyone who needs to know the truth even without television.
