My stay in Moscow hasn't been simple. Kept seeing this cute cat poster with “Egor Spasibo” all over the city. Now I found these photos.

I've been in Moscow for a month now, and it's been a wild experience. But one thing is driving me crazy: this name "Egor Spasibo" (Egor Thank You) is tagged literally everywhere in the art districts.

At first, I was just finding these hilarious, cute cat posters with roses and his name on them (first photo). I thought it was just some kind of weird local meme. But then I started noticing the same name tagged on bridge columns, construction sites, and even official city navigation maps near the Kremlin (image 3).

And I was visiting the GES-2 House of Culture (a huge famous art center in Moscow) and saw this tag right on the official exhibition stand (image 4). I couldn't believe it — it's a super polished, high-security place, but Egor still managed to get in. I snapped a photo immediately.

I finally dug into some local Telegram chats to see what's going on and found these photos of the man himself. He’s always in this exact "Acceptance" pose. One photo is at night in front of a mural, and the other one is him posing with a BMW M5. It looks like some kind of complex conceptual performance art linking this "cute cat" vibe to a real person.

Is this guy a local legend or just a glitch in the city? Does anyone know what this "Acceptance" pose actually means?
