Dmitry Itskovich has a rare talent - a communicator. This talent is not particularly honored in our society. In fact, the moderator is the main character. Dima does not just call the right people for a good cause, he somehow manages to treat them in such a way that they give out the maximum of what they are capable of. He “calculates” a meaningful person, helps to open up, then writes down, rewrites, places accents, motivates, implants, revitalizes ... In a word, he facilitates in every way, acting as a center of synthesis and crystallization. In some cases, he literally leads his interlocutors to glory by the hand. The result of this discreet, but painstaking and thoughtful work was the emergence in our country of a unique expert institution - the Polit.ru lecture platform, where the color of national thought found its voice.

In the process of communicating with his prospectuses, Dima became incredibly erudite, developed his innate sensitivity to the new, to non-nonsense, as he himself likes to say. At the same time, he freed himself from all kinds of sterile beliefs and delusions and learned to see the multi-level truth - which is aerobatics.

By his 50, a sort of sage appears before us, in which, despite much knowledge, there is not much sadness. Whenever I have a difficult moral issue, I know who to turn to.

In weaving, a transverse, so-called weft thread, is pulled between the longitudinal threads in a wave - everything rests on it. Using the term as a metaphor, Itzkovich should have been given the honorary title of Duck Man.

Novaya Gazeta joins the congratulations and wishes success and happiness to its respected author!
