July 9th, 2008 is the last day of the G8 sessions on the Hokkaido island in Japan. At this day anarchists from Minsk got together in a crowded place near the "Komarovka" market to show their protest against the politics of G8, to show the solidarity to japanese and international activists, who are suffering from the repressions of police and other governmental institutions. Also to attract attention of people and to inform them about this dubious meeting and the general courses of politics being led by the states-members of the G8.

The banner with label "No to G8!" was stretched. The guys distributed the leaflets and talked to the passing-by people.

In the center of the alley an imitation of the summit was performed: eight coloured fancy clowns in ridiculous clothes took on the masks with faces of the G8 state-members' leaders and sat down disturbing the passing-by people. The clowns yelled, abused one another, throwed around "dollars" made from paper and fought to get them. So they made lots of noise attracting the attention of people. Periodically they excursed for photosessions and running around the activists who photographed them and spreaded the leaflets.

The reaction of people was various: some of them willingly took the leaflets, the others passed by not paying attention or started to dispute to the activists.

250 leaflets were distributed, there were no problems with the police and under the shouts "Crush the great eight!" the clowns were forced out from the alley by the other participants of the action, what meant the symbolic dissolvation of G8. Hooraay!

There are 8 of them, and there are 6 milliard of us! They are not the ones to decide what the world will be!
