Residents in a Russian apartment building were not pleased when a neighbour installed a surveillance camera in the hallway. So, they took their anger out on it, which naturally, was caught on video.

The start of the video captures a blond woman carrying a hammer walking down a pink and white staircase. She marches straight up to the camera and gives it a few whacks, before turning on her heels and going back up the stairs.

Next, an elderly lady bundled in a winter coat and hat makes her way down the stairs and straight up to the camera. She reaches up and takes a can of spray paint to the lens, then continues on her way. She later appears again, to tap the camera with her cane.

Another unhappy woman with a can of spray paint also leaves her mark on the camera’s lens.

The surveillance doesn’t only capture disgruntled residents who don’t like being watched. It catches an argument between two residents as well as an incredibly intoxicated neighbour who tumbles down the stairs on his hands and knees. He appears again later in the video, heavily relying on the railing to hold him up as he knocks on someone’s door.

Translated from Russian, the video’s title seems to summarize things quite poetically: Pensioner, hammer and inadequate man camera shot war neighbors in apartment building in Tver.
