Tatiana Tolstaya . Kys: Roman. - M.: Podkova, Inostranka, 2000. - 384 p.; circulation 10,000 copies; ISBN 5-89517-0124-3 (Publishing House "Podkova"), ISBN 5-94145-001-X (Publishing House "Inostranka").
Great book. Not brilliant, of course, and not even outstanding, contrary to rumors that have been diligently spread by the capital’s bohemia almost since spring. But simply very good. The genre, however, is truly out of the ordinary: retro-dystopia.
“Retro” because the novel was started (and, it seems, written in rough form) in the post-Chernobyl years, when the threat of a nuclear apocalypse seemed extremely urgent, newspapers published horror stories about mutant chickens, and on November 7 a parade was still quite officially held near the Kremlin walls . In "Kysi" - two centuries after the disaster - chickens mutated into huge migratory birds, and on the "October Weekend" , which is always celebrated in November, monstrously degenerate people "six in a row, singing" march along the "main square, where watchtower." These science fiction and satire, topical 15 years ago, are today perceived as a hopeless anachronism - and their obvious hopelessness suddenly produces a strong aesthetic impression. The world champion in rifle shooting came to the Olympics and fired all his bullets into milk: no longer a shameful fiasco, but a sophisticated performance.
Sophisticated - and at the same time gracefully transparent, intelligible. The authors of the “anticipatory” reviews convinced us that for “Kysi” Tolstaya invented some kind of specific, unprecedentedly complex language. Nothing like this. The style is normative, neutral, slightly flavored with distilled vernaculars and neologisms, which, like children's blocks, are made up of commonly used words. “Klel” is a cross between maple and spruce; what “bread” is is clear without definition; Apparently, the author did not forget for a second about the upcoming translations of the book into English and German. “Burning Fluff” and “Devil’s Cabbage” by the Strugatsky brothers (“Kys” suggests itself, it really invites comparison with them and at the same time with Nabokov’s most speculative novel ) were much more mysterious. From the first pages, the central character, a neurasthenic alarmist with a bushy tail, is understandable and deeply sympathetic; his elegantly confusing internal monologues give the text, already exciting, additional drive. There is absolutely no time to think about what Tatyana Nikitichna had in mind. (Although, just in case, she meant everything that would please the soul of a particular interpreter. Russian culture is bastard. Or: Russian culture is immortal. Or: Russian culture has nothing to do with it at all.) “Kys” does not exist for you to think, and then for you to enjoy it. "Kys" is not a roadside execution. This is an invitation to a picnic.
Quote: Jumping rope is a good, fun game. So, yes. The rules are like this. Put out the candles so that it is dark, sit and stand anywhere, climb on the stove alone. He sits there, sits, and then he jumps with a loud, loud scream! If it hits one of the guests, it will certainly knock you down, hurt you, dislocate a joint, or hit you in some other way. If you pass by, he will hurt himself: his head, or his knee, or his elbow, or even break a rib: the stove, it’s high. You can hit a stool in the dark, be healthy! On the table with your forehead. Now, if he didn’t crash, he climbs onto the stove again, and if he dropped out of the game, the other one is already unbearable: let me go, now I’ll jump! Screams, screams, laughter - really, you'll fit yourself in, such a wonderful game. And then we’ll light the candles and see who got hurt. Well, here, of course, there is even more laughter: after all, Zinovy just had an eye - and no!
Yuri Druzhnikov . Pushkin's second wife: Micronovels, polemical essays. - M.: Vagrius, 2000. - 447 p.; circulation 1000 copies; ISBN 5-264-00382-3.
Yuri Druzhnikov (b. 1933) is the author of the sensational documentary story " Informer 001, or the Ascension of Pavlik Morozov ", a book of semi-literary essays "Russian Myths", novels-research about Pushkin " The Unauthorized Exile " and " The Fugitive File ". Since 1987 he has lived in the USA. Human rights activist. Very prolific. The Baltimore publishing house VIA Press published Druzhnikov's collected works in six volumes.
Quote: The reader has the right to wince and say: “Well, okay! The great Pushkin had a body length of 157.8 centimeters. What the hell does this have to do with poetry, prose and, in general, everything connected with the poet? What do we care? his height?" We’ll answer right away: none! The poet's stature was small, but not dwarfish, especially considering that people were shorter then. However, according to the tradition that has developed over two centuries, absolutely everything in Pushkin is important to us, including the prescription for the medicine with which he treated gonorrhea. And his height required clarification in order to take his small place in the biography of the great poet. I could stop here, but I’ll still add: Pushkin for some reason said that short stature is “the stupidest thing.” I thought about these two words and that’s why I’m fooling you.
A.I. Ivanitsky. Gogol. Morphology of land and power: On the question of the cultural and historical foundations of the subconscious. - M.: RSUH, 2000. - 188 p.; circulation 1000 copies; ISBN 5-7281-0366-9.
Short chapters. The abrupt telegraphic style of a lecturer tormented by Freudianism. In particular, you can find out for sure what the nose symbolizes. If you have reached your age and have not yet been worthy.
Quote: The motif of the immeasurable power of a wife (without dividing into older and younger feminine principles) over a man-child appears in Gogol every now and then. In the Passage, the husband is whipped by his wife by mistake. In “Notes of a Madman,” Poprishchin reveals the shameful secret of his boss: “And in the apartment, his own cook hits him on the cheeks. The whole world knows this”... These motives are also present in “The Overcoat.” Apparently, we can say that the false witch-wife in Gogol’s perception (and in the perception of his heroes) is simply the embodiment of a terrible mother-overlord. The subtext of marriage as the loss of human (male) sovereignty and disappearance in the earth determines the strangeness, dark danger and shame of marriage... “Woman”, “woman” for Gogol is a dirty word...
Alla Begunova. The daily life of a Russian hussar during the reign of Alexander I. - M.: Young Guard, 2000 (series "Living History: Everyday Life of Humanity"). - 383 pp.; circulation 6000 copies; ISBN 5-235-02400-1.
Alla Igorevna tries to overcome the ironic attitude towards the hussars, describing in detail the process of washing horses, cutting uniforms and the daily routine of cadets and non-commissioned officers. But, be that as it may, a hussar is not a hussar without duels, women and days-long drinking bouts. All this is also discussed in the book. The romantic image of the Russian hero does not fade even in the bland light of officer everyday life.
Quote: Having mentioned that drinking alone was considered complete debauchery among officers, Osten-Sacken lists the drinks that were then in use in officer companies: champagne, burnt drink, Kovno honey (a very expensive and strong drink, 10 rubles per bottle), punch , Vilna mint vodka. The drinks were changed, since they should not be mixed, but drink one thing, for example, for a month or two.
Man in the world of feelings: Essays on the history of private life in Europe and some Asian countries before the beginning of modern times / Rep. ed. Yu.L. Bessmertny. - M.: RSUH, 2000. - 582 p.; circulation 2000 copies; ISBN 5-7281-0358-8.
Dotted line. Kaleidoscope. Ra(G)GU. From the sexual preferences of a Russian noblewoman at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries to the Chinese etiquette of friendship in the era of Western Zhou (XI-V centuries BC). The abstract says: “The wide geographical and chronological coverage creates opportunities for a number of historical and comparative conclusions.” However, neither the team of authors nor the editor-in-chief practically use these opportunities, relying on the reader’s ingenuity. The collection was prepared with the financial support of the mysterious organization RGNF, which provides grants for the development of Russian science. A logical continuation of the volume “ A Man in the Family Circle: Essays on the History of Private Life in Europe before the Beginning of Modern Times ” (Moscow, 1996).
Quote: In the “custom” of Russian landowners to “observe” working men, Masson saw sophisticated forms of sexophilia - the desire for voyeurism (voyeurism) and getting pleasure from watching others undress and perform sexual acts (observatism)... It was the noblewomen that he condemned when he told about their habit of demanding from serf men to fulfill “private and even secret requests” (services secrets), “without considering them to be men.” Indeed, in the laws of the Russian Empire from the beginning of the 18th century. there were norms that condemned the “coercion of fornication” of serf girls and women by their “lords,” but there were no “reverse” articles (about landowners and serfs) in the regulations.
Humanities Research on the Internet / Ed. A.E. Voiskunsky. - M.: Mozhaisk-Terra, 2000. - 432 p.; circulation 1500 copies; ISBN 5-7542-0074-9.
All domestic contributors to the collection are assigned to the psychology department of Moscow State University ( Laboratory of the Psychology of Intellectual Activity and Informatization ), and Galina Urtanbekovna Soldatova is also assigned to the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. And foreign ones - to such largest, most authoritative institutions, familiar to any first-grader, such as, say, Temple University (USA), or Loughborough University (UK), or Craft Victoria (Melbourn, Australia). Through the efforts of an international team of authors, a frightening picture was painted in the spirit of Dr. Gannushkin . An extremely useful read. And you probably thought that sitting at a monitor was like waving a saber?
Quote: To recognize that a husband or wife is seriously infatuated with a certain partner in Internet-mediated communication, the following signs of “cyber-relationships” or “cybersex” are proposed: sleep patterns change, a desire to especially reliably hide the content of correspondence is manifested (the password is often changed, protest is expressed , if while working on the Internet someone accidentally turns out to be behind you, etc.), household duties are ignored, in response to a question about the duration of work on the Internet or the content of correspondence, a deliberate lie is told, interest in sex life is lost, family obligations are ignored rituals, it is denied that problems have arisen in family relationships. There are also recommendations for establishing relationships with a spouse who is passionate about cybersex... In some cases, an email is effective... If you want to free yourself from Internet addiction, a strategy for managing the costs of online time can be applied... Or another strategy: make ( and keep in your pocket, wallet, purse, cosmetic bag - the main thing is to catch your eye more often) cards, on one side of which are written those problems and difficulties that the passion for the Internet brought, and on the other side - those life goals, the achievement of which had to be postponed until the future is because of this hobby (unfortunately, A.E. Voiskunsky passes over in silence the third, most effective strategy: implantation into the buttock tissue of a floppy disk on which an exe file infected with the Trojan virus is recorded. - RJ ).

Peshkova; comment V.L. Makhlina, I.V. Peshkova. - M.: Labyrinth, 2000. - 640 p.; circulation 2000 copies; ISBN 5-87604-016-9.
" The first works of Mikhail Mikhailovich were published for a number of reasons under the names of people close to him: V.N. Voloshinov. Freudism. Critical essay. 1927; He. Marxism and the philosophy of language: The main problems of the sociological method in the science of language. 1929; P. N. Medvedev. Formal method in literary criticism. A critical introduction to sociological poetics. In our time, they have been republished in the series “Bakhtin under the Mask ” ( Vadim Kozhinov ). P.N. Medvedeva, “Beyond the Social”, “The Word in Life and the Word in Poetry”, “On the Boundaries of Poetics and Linguistics” and “The Stylistics of Artistic Speech” by V.N. Voloshinov, “Modern Vitalism” by I.I. Kanaev - collected under one cover and provided with a detailed textual commentary.
From “Stylistics of Literary Speech”: An aspiring author sits at the table and looks helplessly at the blank sheet of paper lying in front of him. Even before he picked up a pen and prepared to write, there were so many thoughts in his head... And now, every phrase with which he is about to begin his work looks somehow stupid, clumsy... On whose behalf lead the story?..
V.V. Nalimov. Scattering thoughts: On the way and at a crossroads. - M.: Progress-Tradition, 2000. - 344 p.; circulation 2000 copies; ISBN 5-89826-001-3.
Vasily Vasilyevich Nalimov (1910-1997) - mathematician and biologist who developed the original doctrine of matter and consciousness. A parallel with P. Teilhard de Chardin suggests itself; however, if the foundation of the theory of the great Catholic thinker is a religiously understood evolution, then for the agnostic Nalimov everything is built on strict geometry.
Until now, even people with a philosophical education who tried to get acquainted with Vasily Vasilyevich’s concept in the original, and not from amateurish retellings , as a rule, stumbled at the very first differential equation; in other words, everyone had heard about Nalimov, but few truly understood him. The book “Progress-Traditions” (as evidenced by its non-academic playful title) is an attempt at a concise and popular presentation, conceived by the scientist himself and carried out by Zh.A. Drogalina. There is a minimum number of formulas here. But there are poems.
Quote: We are not given an understanding of the Universe. How can we say that people are created in the image and likeness of God if we cannot understand how God's creativity occurs? If we ourselves can create, does it follow that we are minor gods? Our creativity is spontaneous, but we do not know what spontaneity is, although we can build the logic of spontaneous changes in meanings... Maybe God who creates, if He is recognized as such, also does not know how He creates? And why then all this conversation?
Jean Bleau. Nabokov / Transl. from fr. Valeria and Evgenia Melnikovs; rise Art. Vadim Stark. - St. Petersburg: Russian-Baltic Information Center BLITZ, 2000 (series “Russian Studies in the World: France”). - 240 pp., ill.; circulation 3000 copies; ISBN 5-86789-122-4.
Jean Blot is the pseudonym of the French novelist, UN functionary, Secretary General (1982-1998) of the International PEN Club Alexander Blok (b. in Moscow in 1923). "Nabokov" is Blo's third attempt in the genre of literary biography; the first two were dedicated to Mandelstam and Goncharov.
Extremely expressive. Rather in front than in Proffer .
Quote: His Russia has two opposing idols (which Nabokov’s work will reconcile): the Apollonian Pushkin, who, like Mozart, was able to express with the brilliant clarity of language and feelings of the 18th century the horror and barbarity that the future (19th and 20th centuries) is fraught with, and Dionysian Gogol, an alchemist with yellow fingers, struggling all his life in the arms of demons that seduce and torment him, trying to escape from them, but with every movement and every cry he moves even further away from Christ, whom he wanted to find, and finally burns, deciding that he is doomed to eternal damnation, his work - that is, committing self-immolation. There is, however, a common feature between these two idols of Nabokov’s Russia. Together they represent a phenomenon that may seem contradictory - a non-Christian Russia, or at least a Russia that remembers the times before its baptism.
In the early 90s, the curator of the “XX Century +” series, Vadim Rudnev, was an employee of the Moscow Institute of Dreams and Virtual Realities. The Russian edition of the bestseller by J.W. Dunn (1875-1949) is silently dedicated to the then weekly meetings in Maryina Roshcha. While short shifts between landings and takeoffs, the British aviator Dunn developed the concept of serial time (see also “ Serial Thinking ”), which deeply plowed Borges , but made no impression on academic philosophers. "An Experiment with Time" (1920) explains to us the phenomenon of prophetic and clairvoyant dreams on, so to speak, the atomic level. Surely at least once in your life you have dreamed about how a loved one got into trouble, and soon you discovered that all was not well with him. Or - a special kind of deja vu - a certain millimetre, a fleeting chiaroscuro, a whimsical perspective of reality coincided with inexorable accuracy with a frame from a recent, but seemingly completely forgotten dream. Or, having accidentally wandered into a strange area - and into the same Maryina Roshcha - you were dumbfounded and felt with your eyes the real, daytime facade of the house that had previously haunted you in your nightmares. With charts and graphs in hand, Dunn demonstrates that these are not symptoms of a ripening psychosis. You are simply scattered, spread out across the space-time continuum. There are several of you at once, but no one will ever count how many exactly.
Quote: The waking consciousness categorically refuses to recognize the connection between the dream and the subsequent real event. For him, this connection is a false roundabout path; and as soon as she is revealed, she is instantly rejected. Our mind's resistance is automatic and extremely powerful. Even in the presence of irrefutable evidence - a recording of a dream - a person grabs at any excuse just to avoid recognizing an obvious fact.

Quote: So, we were convinced of the inability to prove that we can communicate, that our words have the meaning that the knowledge of existing (including communication and meaning) is realized. It is equally impossible to prove that we live, and the world exists.
Mark Tullius Cicero . About the limits of good and evil. Stoic paradoxes / Per. from lat. N.A. Fedorova; preface N.P. Gintser; comment B.M. Nikolsky - M.: RSU, 2000 (series "Monuments of World Culture"). - 474 p.; circulation 3000 copies; ISBN 5-7281-0387-1.
Miniature "paradoxes ..." were translated into Russian for the first time. The average “limits ...” - we can assume that for the first time: the previous arrangement made by P.P. Gvozdev saw the light in Kazan in 1889. And the cyclopic, incredibly lengthy comments were not translated at all. Just like that, in Russian, and written.
Quote: Every living creature loves itself and, barely born, directs all his actions to self -preservation, because this motivation for maintaining life is given to him by nature first - to maintain his own existence and be in conditions best corresponding to his nature.

Quote:
Flax hair of dead Ophelia
Described around the cross. Beautiful ship
He threw a heavy one
anchor.
And the living - for death. He is abandoned at random
So that we will not take us anywhere. This cross is thrown into the grass that suffers
Eternal humiliation.
Into the grass, trimmed
and horns of the evil,
and hooves of truth.

" On the marvelous new world " (1932) is a textbook anti -utopia. And the "island" (1962) - on the contrary, classical utopia. According to Khaksli, the earthly paradise is densely inhabited by the Manichaeans , to the brain of the bones with ambivalent, like Vladimir Makanin. Sensations are the most powerful and rude .
Quote: Will looked around. Several boys and girls sat at the tables, frowning, biting pencils and peering in the recording. Their dark hair was neatly smoothed. On top of the white and the colors of Khaki Short, naked body were golden on top of bright colored skirts. In the boys, the ribs were indicated under the skin, the girls' bodies were more complete, ironed, with bulges of the breasts - strong, highly planted and graceful, as if in a nymph, sculpted in the rococo style. And all this was perceived completely naturally. What a pleasure, Will thought, to live where the original sin is just an obsolete doctrine.

Other - the title story and six short stories - re -retold by the most prominent representatives of the current St. Petersburg bohemia.
Quote: - I ask you, Sylvester prayed. - A behave prudent.
- prudent! - the pale face of the asshole trembled, then froze in the grimace. He pumped the table, the plates on it rected. For a moment it seemed to everyone that the table would turn over. But the jockey immediately let him go. He held out his hand to the nearest plate and put a few slices of fried potatoes in his mouth. Then, having protruded his upper lip, he chewed them leisurely, turned and spat on a red velvet carpet. “Listers,” he said in a quiet intermittent voice. He rolled this word in his mouth as if he had a taste and smell. The libertines, ”he repeated again, turned and headed for the exit with a chopping gait.

The 1985 Name-Collage Name-Roman. A bunch of people who survived after the apocalypse is trying to equip the Galapagos Islands. Worse than the " cradle for a cat ." But better than "Between time and Timbukta."
Quote: I again opened a blue tunnel in the afterlife.
I saw him three times: when I cut off my head, then in the cemetery in Malmo, when the raw Swedish clay drummed on the lid of my coffin, and Hyalmar Arvid Bostrem, who certainly never wrote Beethoven’s ninth symphony, said about me:
- Really, he would still not write the ninth symphony of Beethoven.
The third time was during a storm with rain and wet snow in the Atlantic, when I stood holding a cut head on outstretched hands high, like a basketball.

The author swears that Timequake (1997) is his last novel. But it is weak in it. The ghost of Kilgore Truta wanders around Russia again; The ghost is inclined over children's beds and whispers: "You are from my karass ... And you too ... But you are not from mine." And the patterns of lines on the left palms are transformed by a whisper to the beat.
Quote: I still compose stories from time to time - as if it still brings money. It’s hard to get rid of old habits. In addition, once they created a name for themselves. Readed people in past times with fervor discussed the new story of Ray Bradbury, or Jerome Salinger, John Chiver, John Collier, John O'Hara, Shirley Jackson or Flannery O'Connor, or someone else who "had just left for such- that magazine. "
Finita la comedia.

The author of the “ Clothing Orange ” published this variation on the themes of Alice in Wonderland in 1976. The boy Edgar falls into the hole from the circul at the school desk - and incredible adventures begin. It is very difficult to monitor which in Russian: you need to climb all the time into the "Translator Notes".

Without this knowledge, neither TPRU nor well.
Quote: “E, D and G,” said the chewing man. - That is, I am leaving, since my name is Edward, that is, E, D and W. How, you said, your name? - Edgar repeated. - So, e, d and g - just what they played. Goodbye, good luck to you.
And he went away, chewing his black laces (probably lacrimal), which hung from his mouth and dangled in the wind.

And then suddenly he could sit again for hours, stupidly looking in front of him and nodding his head in which she tried to speak with him on his favorite topics: Chopin, Capri, Kochi. And then he could suddenly say for no reason: "Gloria von Turn-and-Taxis ordered the prince to be prepared for his sixtieth anniversary of the anniversary cake with sixty penis from Marcipan. He was blue. But this is known only to the narrowest circle of faces."
