In the opposition

Downstairs and upstairs

December 26, 2011 Viktor Shenderovich

The morning began with a letter from a middle-aged friend-poet who spent a Saturday day on Sakharov Avenue. In this letter there are many tough observations of the protruding, according to personalities, and the main result is: “Those who are below were much nicer for those who are from above. There was no intonation of confident fun, a winning smart fun. ”

Victive smart fun! Very accurate success formula. It is necessary to save this feeling - and try to match ... From those who spoke on Saturday, this corresponded, perhaps, only Dmitry Bykov, whose gift of God is able to derive from despondency through the precisely found word.

And - already my own short result, quite encouraging. Absolutely most people who came to Sakharov Avenue are not screamed and scandal. So, their leader will be the one who takes his head and heart, and not with his throat and inhabit.
