Osmolovsky adresses himself to the left-radical ideology, a type of ideology which is the most discredited in the consciousness of Russians.  Ideological "ready-mades" save in their delicate appearance a semantic structure of the original source and therefore reproduce all its available catalog of signs - from images of Mayakovski and Breton to the tuft of ruffled hairs stuck together by bubble-gum, - that immediately evokes in memory of a stream of nostalgic author's references: the negation of bourgeois by cubo-futurism, the surrealists, dream of the world revolution, an the antisocial brutality of punk-rock.

He demonstrated to the highly sophisticated public at the Centre of Contemporary Art the practical mechanism of manipulating minds by the mass media. In cooperation with the TV Gallery he organized direct transmission to the monitors installed in the exhibition rooms. The programme imitated the usual run: commercials, news (of art scene, touching on many of those present), and direct reporting of events from the spot. When the initial sceptical attitude of the snobbish public was placated by making them feel important, they were "had" with a wily trick: they had seen in one of the rooms a large double bed which seemed to have little to do with the rest of the show; now in one of the "direct" transmissions they saw on the monitor screens a naked girl lolling on that bed. It didn▓t affect those who happened to be in the room with the bed which was empty as before (the videotape with the girl had been shot in advance), but the rest rushed back to see the real thing, so fudged they were with the fake "documentary" air of reporting.
