Chelyabinsk hosted the "Chelyabinsk smiling at the world" action. 10,000 town dwellers in colorful raincoats took to the central square to form a "smile" of 80 meters in diameter so that a satellite could take shots of the "technical demon's" giant smile. The great flash mob action was devoted to Chelyabinsk's 272nd anniversary.
