Blue Man accompanied the artists on several escapades. To get to Documenta X, the three of them evaded the niceties of passports by slipping across the Czech border into Germany. Blue Man kept them warm at night, and came to embody the attributes of an ideal lover. He is big and strong like the blue night sky, and also an irresistible demon.

The installation "Environment of Fear" is an exorcism of fear, a theme the artists often revisit. In an action, "Poor Lisa," Glukla and Olia jumped hand in hand from a bridge spanning a river; at times they shaman-like burn their clothes, or fling them from an open helicopter door. And in "Environment of Fear," they come face to face with what they dread most, and acknowledge the omnipresence of fear.

The word "intelligentsia" is of Russian origin. After Russia defeated Napoleon in 1812, many aristocrats came in contact with the ideas of the European Enlightenment.
