I saw this picture the other day and it did make me giggle. From my experience many Russian people do not think very much of greenpeace. I was trying to buy a winter hat for my brother in December and said to the guy selling hats, I didn't want any fur. The man looked at me and said (in a very think Russian accent) 'Grinpeeas' and thought this was the most hysterical joke ever!!! All because I wanted a hat with no fur- that is obviously the measure of a good environmentalist these days... I probably shouldn't add that I went on to buy a fur hat! (which I cannot wear, but more about that later).

Also there seem to have been a few protests in Moscow recently (the picture is from last week)- and I have not seen any of them, I wonder where they happen and why I don't know about them?!
