MGU protest calendar

[Josh Wilson]

Sometimes indeed stupidity looks just too stupid too actually be stupidity -
the reasoned, learned mind really searches for some deeper meaning or
joke... 

Very, very often, however, as much as we would like it to be otherwise....
it really is just stupidity.

Dear Vitaly,
Whatever the original intention was, it surely looks and reads as 
a parody of official tributes, celebrations, jubilee 
congratulations, etc.
All the best,
Galya
