-Thank you for your cooperation, says a police officer, and beats civilians with a baton. 

-Thank you for your service, the civilians reply and get beaten with a baton. 

In August 2019 the National Guard Forces Command in Moscow brutally oppressed peaceful demonstrations, that took place after believed manipulated municipal election. Hundreds were beaten and got arrested. Multiple evidence of excessive brutality towards the demonstrators were not taken to consideration by the officials. The system doesn’t seem to work right, those supposed to protect turn dangerous, aggressive, and brutal. The system seems to be broken. Just like these glitched images, depicting the moments of police violence. The phrases «thank you for your cooperation» and «thank you for your service» added to their digital code. Each photo is mirrored, creating thus a diptych with a mute and absurd dialogue between the society and government in today’s Russia.
