material: Eduard Limonov illustrations: Sofia Khananashvili Yesterday, the Alpina.Proza publishing house published Eduard Limonov’s novel “Moscow in May,” the manuscript of which was considered lost for many years. We are publishing two chapters from it, in which Ed Limonov comes first to the funeral of the “last futurist Kruchenykh”, and then of the artist Hulo Sooster. The hero reflects on death, meets Gennady Aigi, Voznesensky, Lilya Brik and others, cries, drinks vodka and eats raw meat.

Amazed by the depth of the abyss that divides us... There will be no peace in Russia. Judging by the gnashing of teeth on both sides in the conflict about the murder of Russian children in the United States, we are divided to the point of killing each other. We, apparently, have not resolved the 19th century dispute between Westerners and Slavophiles, much less fought the civil war between the whites and the reds.

The tracks lead to the USA, Tucson, Arizona; it appears that Dolmatov was killed. On the same day when we said goodbye to the National Bolshevik Sasha Dolmatov, precisely on February 6, in the morning I discovered a new text by Tatyana Volkova about the Dolmatov case entitled “To be continued.” I read it early in the morning, at the same time, with great interest and, having managed to send it to Holland, I left for farewell and then to the funeral.
