The Russian Kissing Bandits strike! Russian performance artists 'Voina' (or War) are focusing their efforts on reforming Russian women police officers. Armed with little more than hugs and kisses, the artists claim they want the 'girls in blue to be more relaxed. For the past few months, they've thrown their arms around lady law enforcers - and claim they've already worked their charms on several hundred officers and not all seem happy to be lunged at for a bit of free love. For the artists, one of the key police reforms is getting the force's females to feel liberated and more light-hearted. The art group's no stranger to controversy, having previously painted a giant phallus on one of St. Petersburg's rising bridges.

Fusionautsays...you get a *promote because you used "flesh mob." Also, I really enjoyed the video
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 3:16pm PST - promote requested by Fusionaut.
Porksandwichsays...Man some of them look like they are going in for a bite. I'd reel back too if they are reaching their hands up around your head to pull you toward them. Others just go in gentle...and actually get the kiss.
Yogisays...Jesus! Vampires loose in Russia!
EDIT: OH War...They're the group that did the gang bang artist something or other somewhere. They did something else too I can't recall though.
deathcowsays...the ones at 1:00 and 1:08 crack me up
sruesays...Is this not low-grade sexual assault? Don't these officers have a right to choose who they kiss and who kisses them? This doesn't seem like an effective way to make the police "more relaxed," "liberated," or "light-hearted."

Are you challenging the effect Performance Art has on peoples opinions...because I'm certain you're incredibly boring.
sruesays...Congratulations! You were rude to someone on the internet! Fortunately people like you are relatively rare on VideoSift.
Anyway, regardless of whether performance art affects opinions, I don't think you get to force unconsenting people to kiss you in the name of art. Once people clearly resist I think you have to stop. I guess that makes me boring. Can you seriously tell me the police women in the video were "reformed" in the intended manner? An assault like this is more likely to have the opposite effect.
