This was originally advertised as taking place at 10:00, but at 10 there were no demonstrators to be seen at either the American or the Russian embassies. It was still fun to watch tourists and most of all to listen to American men explaining. I hung around for a while, did Internet searches but couldn’t find anything, so left. Turned out the demonstration was rescheduled for noon, so I missed it. The consistency of the size and demographics for participation in these both here and in the US has me musing over participants‘ self-definition as „political activists“. I am no longer sure politics is what’s going on with these rituals.
