Zachem - again and again

I've posted a lot of photos of the work (in various media) of the Zachem (or 3A4eM, or Зачем) crew - and found their website for the first time today (the caption on the front page says "consume work die") - here are a couple more such pics:

Mops and a bucket


"Vedro" means "bucket" in Russian - mops included!

Sovok

In honor of "sovok" being defined more or less correctly on urbandictionary.com (not news, but news to me - but a full definition should include the word's "straight" meaning - dustpan):

Dissenters' sticker

Image: LJ user drugoi

The sticker says:
THEY ARE GROWING FAT ["During the time of Putin's rule, the army of bureaucrats has grown by 4,000,000 people"]
WE ARE DYING OFF ["And the population of Russia has declined by 7,000,000 as a result of poverty and insufficient availability of medicines"]

DISSENTERS' MARCH - 14 April starting at 12.00 on Pushkin Square
At least I'm pretty sure that's what it says, but as you can see some of the words are blurry. I'm not sure if the first claim is correct, and the second one is obviously an exaggeration - Russians are dying off for lots of reasons - but it seems like an effective bit of marketing for the event.
