As a nostalgic birthday video, I’m posting a new episode of the documentary "The Term". This is how the "protest folk festivities" and "Occupy Abai" (a Moscow protest camp centered around the Abai Kunanbayev monument) began. It looks like it happened about five years ago.
http://youtu.be/rtx_WnrjPSI Please hit me every time I say "uh"—it’s just awful. All that’s missing is some sunflower seeds and a can of "Jaguar" (a popular Russian canned alcoholic energy drink) in my hand. And here, by the way, is another video (2 minutes) explaining how the "standing that turned into walking" began—right from the very first minutes. About gifts. The best gift for me would be for you to register and then actively get involved in the GMP. For now, the stats look like this: 37,521 people have completed the initial registration (signed up through a social network) and started filling out the questionnaire. (you can stop and resume filling out the questionnaire at any time) 13,900 people have completed the questionnaire in full and are ready to get to work. Here’s our top list of activity types:
No surprises, as you can see. The most popular options turned out to be the traditional forms of campaigning. And that’s great: it means we know for sure that within a couple of days we can effectively distribute any campaign material that can be printed on a home printer—leaflets, newspapers, and so on—in a print run of at least 100,000 copies. We’re going to push that number up to a million. So that there’s something to distribute, we invited everyone who indicated creative talents in the questionnaire to a closed group at Creative/mashina.org—there we’ll be producing campaign materials using a crowdsourcing model. The way the site works is mostly copied from Leprosorium (a well-known Russian online community): you can upvote and downvote proposed materials there too. Here is the GMP banner:
Here is the code for it—you can insert it into your blog/site:
