Pegasus Light. Maxim Andreev

A film journalist, he gained fame as the author of the “Culture” strip of the Nezavisimaya Gazeta and the Art strip of the Segodnya newspaper. A master of titles (“Tu mua cortázar at least a little?” and, six months later, “Zhe tua Tarantino like a dog” * ) and aphoristic finales (“The cold of love vows. The heat of a freshly dug grave”). After the death of the Segodnya newspaper, he worked in the strangest places, including publishing the “today’s” strip “Masscult” in the Russian Telegraph newspaper. In the end, with a sigh of relief, he turned into a sports journalist for the same newspaper.
