  9. Characteristics of Protest Public in Moscow protests December 2011 – February 2012 • exclusively peaceful protest, totally non-aggressive in attitude • very well organized  - both by public protests committee  and by Moscow police, as most huge mass actions were officially ‘sanctioned ‘ by Moscow authorities. • very creative, full of funny , humorous and sarcastic messages, being critical to power • very well articulated messages – both personalized – every 5-th one with own slogan – but also developing the same common idea – for the changing of power and empowering the people

  10. Major question for the 2012 • Would this ever be the SAME public, that existed BEFORE those mass actions? Or, instead, • This experience in participating mass and lasting protest is creating NEW QUALITY of public, that would behave differently in any other social interactions, particularly , vis-a-vis government authorities, corrupted bureaucracies, inadequate government structures?
