Perhaps, in recent years, there was no more scandalous work in Russia than the “lower aerobatics” of Bayan Shiryanov. Almost every moment from the moment of writing this novel and today there is a struggle with it. First, the Internet sites were destroyed on which its text was posted, then they were removed from the bookstores, and now ... Now we have the opportunity to chat with the legendary author of this work - Bayan Shiryanov himself. Our special correspondent, writer-Belletist Kirill Vorobyov , is talking to him.
Kirill Vorobyov: Well, hello! I came to interview you.
Bayan Shiryanov: Interview ??? What is it? Is it dirty and smelly or large and clean?
K.V.: Interview is a conversation between two smart people.
B.Sh.: And if one of them turns out to be an idiot?
K.V.: Then the fee of the second will increase markedly.
B.Sh.: Good. I will help you with this.
K.V.: Just do not ... overdo it.
B.Sh.: Well, that's how it turns out ...
K.V.: Good. Here I have a list of questions. Let's go through it. So, our readers ...
B.Sh.: And you personally ...
K.V.: ... Interested in whether Bayan Shiryanov is alive or not. And what is this story with his death?
(On September 10, 2000, the entire Russian Internet stirred a letter sent to the closed sheet of the Commonwealth of Ezhe periodicals. It reported that Bayan Shiryanov on September 7, 2000 died of a gap of heart, caused by an overdose of a homemade drug of Pervitin. For several days, it still turned out that death touched only a virtual character, and the one who wrote under this pseudonym, Alive and enjoying watching this hype.
B.Sh.: So. I warn you: it will be so persecuted that not every sober reader shows this. Okay, from the Equal to business.
One of the greatest writers of Russia, the legendary Bayan Shiryanov really died from an overdose by a homemade primary, in the expansion of a screw, about 2 a.m. on September 7, 2000. And this despite the fact that so far there have been no cases of death directly from the primary overdoses.
K.V.: Then who am I talking to now?
B.Sh.: A minute of patience.
The legend says that a criminal case was opened. It has been gone neither Shatko nor the Walkko - and suddenly the exhumation of my body was required. It was produced. In the morgue they put me, they found out everything that they needed, and at night I ran away. And now I am consuming from the following parts that I could hardly get together. This is a callous ass - where is the writer without this necessary body? Two index fingers to turn on the computer and knock on the keyboard. Two eyes to watch. Well, the third, of course, is ... Then - the cerebellum, it is needed to coordinate movements. It’s impossible without him either. And the most valuable thing I possess is scattered pieces of the cerebral cortex, which contain my memories.
K.V.: And all this body that I see?
B.Sh.: Ontidly hallucination.
K.V.: But I can touch him!
B.Sh.: An induced tactile hallucination!
K.V.: But this is, by and large, a myth!
B.Sh.: So the writer should surround myths. Which he himself creates. Why does he need myths that he cannot control?
K.V.: Wait. This is some kind of childish јrism. Games with legends. Why is it all?
B.Sh.: And this is another part of the myth. He does not have to be logical. He must explain something. Where did the universe come from, how people appeared and ... from where the button accordion came out.
K.V.: And where?
B.Sh.: A huge divine syringe was injected with my essence into the adult body of the carrier ... It was in 1996. I was born to adults. You know the rest.
K.V.: Then where is the memories?
B.Sh.: They are not mine, by and large. These are pieces of memory of dozens of people. Well, my carrier, in particular. K.V.: Here we got to one very serious prosecution at your address. Many believe that you wrote the "lower aerobatics", based not on your own experience, but compiling all kinds of bikes.
B.Sh.: Even if so. From this, the book will become better, worse, or the one who does not read, or vice versa, will read this interview, will it treat it differently?
The point is not what is specifically written in the book, but what is behind it.
K.V.: Then such a question from the workpieces: what is the "lower aerobatics" about?
B.Sh.: About friendship and unfriendly, love and hatred, about eternity, about glory, about eternal wanderings on earth and outside of it.
K.V.: Do you think so seriously?
B.Sh.: I wrote so seriously!
K.V.: But many critics assure the reader that this is a production novel. Only instead of the machine - a syringe, instead of party organizer - police, and workers are drug addicts.
B.Sh.: I want to answer this with a quote from Boris Strugatsky, who said the following question about the same question about the “piloting”: “This thing was written more likely in the traditions of the immortal“ Nikolai Nikolaevich. ”And maybe, in a sense, Vladimovsky“ three minutes of silence ”... This is unconditionally a bright, unexpected and cruel work. This An ulcer on a pretty face: ugly, terrible, but attention attracts - not to tear the eye.
K.V.: Do you agree with this?
B.Sh.: And no. The criticism is to hang labels. And the matter of the thoughtful reader is to sift them ... and hang their own.
What was the just no network critics! (After all, the novel has long been available only to Internet men and their friends.) And in child pornography, and in the fact that I admit that drug addiction is akin to pederasty, and in teaching minors to the manufacture of drugs! ..
K.V.: You were accused of not only network critics, but ordinary readers of your book.
B.Sh.: Is this a hint of Mr. Deputy Minister of Press Sirozhenko? It’s not too simple ... although ...
(Deputy Minister of Press, Mr. Sirozhenko on May 14, 2001, sent to the AD Marginem Publishing House, which issued a “lowest pilot”, a letter in which he demanded an explanation regarding the preparation and release of this publication, since “... the text of the book is filled with non-normative vocabulary, obscene expressions and abuse.”, As well as “drug production methods, and methods of manufacturing, and methods of manufacture of drugs, and methods of manufacture of drugs, and methods of manufacturing. Smacking the state, after their use, as well as a description of obscene scenes provoking low-powered instincts. "In connection with which in the book" ... there are signs indicating the commission of criminally punishable acts, and the morality of citizens is damaged. ")
K.V.: No. So far, for a scandal in the "Bibli-Globus". Can you tell us about him? B.Sh.: What to tell? As always, something happened at first, and only then the information about it reached me. And everyone demanded that I somehow react ...
K.V.: And yet ...
B.Sh.: On one bust-and-repositive and transcript day, I found out that they refused to sell me in this store. I was not upset, I was not angry, I plunged into perfect bewilderment. I immediately called the Bibli-Globus. He talked with several ladies, found out that the novel was supposedly removed from the trading hall by people who did not read Pasternak, but they wanted to express their negative opinion ... I did not understand how to read the book without breaking the cellophane cover for a long time? It turned out that the store employees themselves were engaged in this, successfully supplying each volume with antivoric magnetic marks. But if they themselves and defloered the book, what are the claims to me or the publishing house?
This happened in the wake of the change in the NTV leadership and, as it seemed to me, was generally almost unnoticed. But no! Slava Kuritsyn, the editor-in-chief of the Ozone bookstore, threw the cry: “Lobe” was seized in “Bibli-Globus”-Long live “Pilotage”! ”Like that everyone who is not with a“ biblobus ”is simply obliged to trade them from a civil position. Here, in fact, almost everything.
There was only one very unpleasant moment left: Max Fry (well, we know who it really is!) Suddenly wrote on the website of Brani.ru that it was me, having entered into a conspiracy of the store’s directorate, I agreed to seizure! And this information went on all news sites and even hit the Echo of Moscow!
K.V.: So what?
B.Sh.: And nothing! Let everyone think that I am amusing the directorate, or she ... this is to me too. PR, you panamy ...
K.V.: And how much did you pay to Mr. Sirozhenko?
B.Sh.: I swear honor - nothing! I don't even know him! And think for yourself, pay for the circulation of your book to be arrested, the publisher is deprived of a license, and they could plant you himself - is it not stupidity?
In an interview with the site of the border.ru, I said that I was afraid of only a personal “mask-show”. And now this situation is more close than ever.
K.V.: And what are you going to do in connection with her?
B.Sh.: I have a stamp with which I will answer you: "As always - nothing."
K.V.: But why?! In your place I would beat all the bells, distribute an interview ... I tried to somehow protect the novel ...
B.Sh.: Protect? He does not need protection. It is already there. This, they want this definitely configured circles or do not want, already a phenomenon of Russian literature. And there is no getting away from this. Any prohibitions will only distort its original orientation.
Come up with yourself: everyone - I, publishers, critics - repeat in one voice: "The book is definitely anti -drug." And it is forbidden. Prohibit an anti -drug work. "Lesser aerobatics", text, literature, put on one board with drugs. What will happen after that? Who benefits from it? These are the questions any reader should ask himself.
K.V.: It seems I know the answers to them ...
B.Sh.: And I know.
And so I personally can only wait.
I do not want to say loud words here, but it seems to me that this book has become or will become a kind of trial stone, through which the watershed between those who really seek to save Russia from drug plague, and those from the other side.
K.V.: But, for example, in the newspaper "Century" you are directly accused of hiring drug mafia.
B.Sh.: I do not want to draw any conclusions regarding this publication ... But who screams the louder "Hold the thief!"?
And where is the money that the drug mafia paid me? I was recently invited to Vladivostok to give a lecture on drugs and “piloting”. I can't go. Nothing.
K.V.: Let's finish the sad ... The last planned question: what does Bayan Shiryanov write?
B.Sh.: Bayan Shiryanov writes "Middle A lot of people." On the one hand, this is the sequel of the “lower ...”, on the other, these are all the same, the heads planned six years ago, to which my hands did not reach when writing the “lower aerobatics”. Well, of course, over the years I talked with shopping, they told me amazing stories. Several of them will certainly enter the book.
But alas, the volume of my memory is very limited. And as soon as I fill the next chapter, that piece of the brain in which it was stored, disappears. There are less and less of them. Soon they will end completely. And then Bayan Shiryanov will die completely. I will turn into a purely spiritual being ...
K.V.: Races again?
B.Sh.: Why? Pure truth.
K.V.: And could you not at the end of our conversation tell you, but is it what you have written else other than the "aerobatics ..."?
B.Sh.: Of course. I have a "dictionary of slang of drug addicts", which I am now trying to prepare for the press together with the head of the operational department of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the G. Stavropol, Lumtev Alexander Georgievich. And he and I, we at the same time collected materials for our dictionaries, and when we accidentally met and compared what we did, it turned out that we have such a huge number of intersections ... In general, now I am working on the unification of our dictionaries.
The second work, which took me a lot of effort and time, is the novel "Span". I plan to release it in five volumes, and the sixth volume - comments on the novel.
The rest is trifles: the article “The next genocide of the Russian people”, the story “Deviz - Move”, the play “Normal”, the journalistic material of the “Chronicle of the advancing Udvak” ... Avtoparodia “Square Square of the Hot Dogs” ... a third of one of the novels of Larisa Volodimerova, who took it, and printed ours with her personal correspondence ... several critical articles ... several journalistic articles ... Materials, including in the "Ogok" ... Maybe I forgot something ... But, everything that is written by me can be found on the Russian-speaking Internet.
K.V.: It remains only to wish you a long life, material well -being, good health, creative success and remain free, both external and internal.
B.Sh.: The main thing is the last. The rest will fit ...
