The implications of this game, however, run deeper than the actual messages sent and received. The billboards with their private messages were able to occupy public space so easily because in Russia public space is virtually empty: there's very little, if any, communication between state and society, and barely any public debate.
这样不同主题的"私人"公告牌连续出现了大约一年。但这种游戏的意蕴远比其实际收发的讯息要深刻。传递私人讯息的公告牌能够如此容易的占领公共空间是因为俄罗斯的公共空间几乎是闲置的：国家和社会之间的交流即便是有也少得可怜，而公共辩论则几乎没有。
