Russian term or phrase: пиаровские выходки
From a newspaper article interview with the director of "Mayak" discussing his opponents in Ozersk.
"У нас нашлось очень много «умных людей», которые привыкли ставить всякие вопросы. Например, одна из учительниц ставит вопрос Малкову: «А знаете ли Вы, Владимир Васильевич, как управлять городом?» А мне вот прямо хочется спросить ее: «А знаете ли Вы как учить людей? Вы же взялись за это.» .... Я считаю, что это просто «пиаровские выходки», больше никак не называю. И на этом деле просто люди зарабатывают себе мелкую популярность."

OR \'farce\' could be a better word for \"выходки\"; dirty tricks; monkey act; monkey business; or just \'show off\'

\"выходки\" contains a definite negative connotation, and in this context could basically stand for anything (out of the ordinary) done for public

As soon as I saw the "PR" references, I realized why I couldn't find the word in the Russian dictionary, even though it's used all over the internet. All the responses make sense and were helpful. It's great to have so many "Proz" out there who are ready to help.
Thanks,
