This was the day of protests against Alexey Navalny's imprisonment. He just gets back to Russia and gets arrested immediately. At the time I was researching the psychology of evil and totalitarianism. I started to see patterns. The trend was obvious and fucked up.  I felt my responsibility to make everything I could to stop it. 
   It was a very cold and sunny Saturdaysaturday day in Vladivostok. When I came to the square I saw from afar, a huge crowd of people walking down the road. People were cheering and elated to get together. Students, elderly people, and all in between were walking and having a conversation. I walked with them, curious. 
   Suddenly a Police slice the crown in half with paddy wagons. A huge amount of people in black armor get out and form a few lines. They stand in silence with a hand on the shoulder wall. The tension was in the air. The crowd seem hopeful they cheered "You are with us!". 
   After ten or fifteen minutes, out of thin air, clubs get in the air and police ran into the crowd. I was just one step away from the last cop in line when it started. I was lucky. But many weren't. I used sound samples from this event in this composition, as well as video footage from this day. I stopped filming just before the violence started.
