After that the books were wrapped in tin foil and encapsulated in black tar.
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.

82. LOCATIONS N o 40 AND 41 (For G.Witte)
G.Witte, unaware of the action‘s content, was prompted to climb upon a metal searchlight tower
(approximately 20 meters high) within the VDNKh grounds and, while seated next to the searchlight,
listen to instructions through a small cassette tape recorder. The instruction contained detailed
descriptions of locations of various CA actions since 1976. In the process of listening it became apparent
that there had been 39 places of actions, and thus the searchlight tower was the fortieth in the sequence of
CA actions. It was also said that there had been another tower of exactly the same type 30 meters
eastwards from the first one, and that the second, yet unmanned, tower had had number 41. After the
recitation and explanation of the action‘s name ("Locations N o 41 and 41") G.Witte was prompted to
photograph the surrounding perspective while standing on the tower‘s top and to record the description of
every place visible from his position. In the course of the verbal description he was prompted to use
binoculars and to pay particular attention to the neighboring tower – location N o 41. In the course of the
action it became apparent that G.Witte could not see the neighboring tower from his position because as
the view was obstructed by trees.
