Because No One Wants to See That

According to the Russian internet publication Obozprevatel ("the Critic"), shown in the photograph are colleagues of the provocative Russian-Ukrainian performance artist Oleg Kulik who "conducted their own Moscow own protest action recently, commemorating not only the larger and more well-publicized 'March of the Dissidents' but also the 46th birthday of Mr. Kulik, as Oleg himself reports on Invivio.net."

Apparently the group was inspired to enact their own unique sort of protest action by mounting a mattress on the roof of a car and then driving it through the streets of Moscow while copulating after witnessing the Moscow protest action last weekend led by dissident politicians Garry Kasparov and Mikhail Kasynanov as the "Other Russia" coalition. It seems they wanted to emphasize the "make-love-not-war" theme in the most visceral manner possible.
