Near the Kyevgorskoe field on a small forest clearing a lithium battery-powered clock (estimated duration of work – approximately 10 years) was buried. Prior to this the clock was folded in tin foil and placed into a special glass container, its lid sealed with black tar. The clock was set to Rangun (Burma) time. Another clock of the same type showing Rangun time remained with the organizers as a check copy. After that the thirteen parcels with books were buried in a circle around the clock. Location of the pits with books was marked with a rubber cloth with guiding lines on it and written distances between the cloth’s center and the pits (the first guiding line was defined and marked on the cloth with a compass; the cloth’s center matched the pit with the clock).
According to the plan, the parcels with books are to be excavated and distributed among the action’s organizers after the check copy clock’s having stopped.
