A group of youths perform a Punk-Skomorokh act on a public boardwalk. They are part of street artist B.U. Kashkin's (1938-2005) “Kartinnik” circle, which produced a wave of infamous—but positive and cheerful—actionism.

B.U. Kashkin's circle created outsider art in various media, but especially painting, distributing it to the public during their Punk-Skomorokh performances. B.U. Kashkin encouraged amateur artists to experiment with public art. 

The bearded B.U.Kashkin (1938-2005) stands in front of an array of trash bins painted with bright, colorful scenes featuring trees, butterflies, and flowers. Against the background of this artistic display, pigeons are seen digging through the site’s abundant garbage and mud.
