Signerbusters are hated by "people of culture." "Art is beyond politics" feels guilty. Signerbusters don’t let this guilt be forgotten.

A protest of a small group of people near Carnegie Hall could look grotesque; instead, it looks epic: so much hate, anger, spitting and pushing against those who hold the posters. We see portraits of political prisoners, a short story of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, names of the dead. There are also the names of those who have signed the historic letter…

Since 2014, when "many Russian artists and public figures signed a letter supporting the Russian president’s position regarding Ukraine and Crimea" (BBC), Signerbusters regularly gather in public places to remind them about the existence of a fine connection between a person and their signature.
