- Daria Timokhina 18+ (@Dashhatmhn) August 6, 2015It is unlikely that we can talk about a direct cosplay of any of the books of Sorokin in modern Russia - rather, we are talking about the presentation "based on motives." But almost all books-somewhere you can see the features of "norm", somewhere "feast", somewhere "telluria", well, the "day of the oprichnik", of course.
Vladimir Putin congratulated Vladimir Sorokin on his anniversary and noted that the last three years he did everything possible to perpetuate the name of the writer.

@erizo_rayado a futurologist? Sorokin, judging by the latest news, is a realist.

Today is the birthday of the brilliant Russian writer Vladimir Sorokin.
“Getting out the wallet, I look at the window. The standard set of grocery stall: Rodina cigarettes and cigarettes“ Russia ”, rye and“ wheat ”vodka, black and white bread, candy“ Kosooi ”and“ Bear in the North ”, apple and plum, cow oil, meat with bones and without bones, solid milk, whole milk, solid and flood Kurin and quail egg, boiled and smoked sausage, cherry and pear compote, and finally - the Russian cheese.
The idea of the father of the sovereign, the represal of Nikolai Platonovich, was good, to eliminate all foreign supermarkets and replacing them with Russian stalls. And so that in each stall - two things, to choose a folk one. This is wise and deeply because our people, the God -bearer, should choose from two, and not out of three or not thirty -three. Choosing from two, the people who have a sincere peace, the confidence in the tomorrow is overtaken, avoids unnecessary fuss, and therefore satisfied. And with such a people, satisfied, you can create great things. "
Congratulations to Vladimir Kara-Murza.
Today, the friend of my youth and the certain participant of our seditious vigils of the mid-70s, the great writer Vladimir Sorokin, turned 60.
A forty -year acquaintance gives me the right to say a few words to the anniversary.
Dear Volodya, life turned out to be long and I am glad if you come in handy my modest help on the days when the “ourselves” burned your books or hopped scum from NTV when you went to the hospital after a suspicious accident. <...>
I remember how 20 years ago you asked me to be a leading at the celebration of your 40th anniversary in the unforgettable Metelitsa. And I - deep down in my soul, was flattered by your choice - refused, referring to daily employment on the air "today at midnight."
The thing is that for forty years they have not been celebrated in Russia, and 60 is celebrated and even how! On the anniversary of you!
Navalny did not stand aside.
Today is 60 years to the writer, who is at the same time 1) great, 2) Russian, 3) alive.
I congratulate everyone with this
Not everyone is ready to join the congratulations:
Each has its own "great writers." The liberals have Sorokin "Great". :-)) https://t.co/gkydv68v0o
- Dmitry Agraanovsky (@agranovskiy) August 7, 2015Great ... What!? Greatest. Can it start reading it in schools, for example, blue fat, class from the 5th?
What, of course, can be answered - why not?
Awesome writer! Chronist of modern Russia. Ironic, smart and accurate. Perhaps, according to his books, future 5-classics will be happy to study our country from the time of the Presidential of GDP.
About why the SRKN is actually the VPZR, writes Pavel Matveev on the Kashin website:
Despite the general decline in intelligence and the mass degradation of the very people who learned independently, to think of the absolute majority of the population, coupled with Crimeanism and Luganson Jackets, real writers are still in the present Russia. There are few of them. But they are. A distinctive feature of such writers is an accurate hit in the most important pain points of society of each new essay. In this regard, Vladimir Sorokin is not simple. All his books that have been published over the past decade - from the oprichnaya dilogy and the blizzard to the “monoclon” and “telluria” - fell into the very “top ten”, for which a well -aimed young arrows in the school dash immediately give out a plush hare with carrots from the shelf. <...>
Until the universal debilization is overcome in Russia, the most important of all its writers - the great writer of the Russian land (VPZR) - will remain Vladimir Georgievich Sorokin \, for the brevity of the same minted Russian letters - SRKN.
And thank God.
The big text of Victoria Shokhina - on the site "Change":
Vladimir Sorokin is a writer for writers. Like James Joyce. Breathing with sparse air at the tops of his prose is difficult. And in the lowlands - and that is more difficult. Not everyone withstand. But professionals will find a lot of useful things for themselves in his books.
However, Sorokin not only (smart) writers read (and revere). But also ordinary readers. Personally, I know: a pensioner of the advanced years, a Soviet engineer, an elementary school teacher, not to mention students. And by the way, it was Sorokin who wanted to call the participants of the show “Behind the Glass” (2001), which is funny and symptomatic.
Vladimir Sorokin is our Joyce. The driving force of his prose, like Joyce, a parody (from low to high), generated by music
Finally, the word is Sorokin himself. In anticipation of the anniversary, an interview with him came out on the feed.ru.
Another sign of the present: many writers took an active civil position, participate in public and political discussions. Do you think this is a useful practice for the writer?
The use of literature as a stenobitic machine harmed it at all times. Recall the sixties - what is left of them? I have my own civic position, but I do not like the crowd. Therefore, I do not go to rallies and did not go for a walk with the writers in the boulevards. Walking well together when you hear the interlocutor. Any crowd does not cause me a desire to join it. It seems to me that the writers who are so actively climbing to speak, did not write something. Or they can’t do it anymore. Nabokov, Joyce, Kafka would not climb. I can not imagine Sasha Sokolov or Pelevin addressing the crowd.
Sorokin’s civic position, however, is clear:
From the age of 20, I was a convinced anti-Soviet and hated Soviet power. And even then he understood that the normal human world is European democracy. Since then he has not changed this conviction. It was more accentuated with the “oprichnik” because the genre dictated. Probably, when the country rolls along the inclined, it is difficult to protect a citizen in himself (laughs) a citizen falls out of you! It sounds ambiguous, right? Perhaps this is a manifestation of cowardice ... Navalny will condemn me. But I have long understood that it is impossible to quickly change the mentality of the people. And it's not a change of government. Europeans have long been living in a world where the state serves them. And in Russia we have served the state for hundreds of years. This is the main ontological difference. Everything else is particular. Here the state is Moloch, which constantly requires the population of victims at all levels.
Navalny was not offended and in his congratulation gave a link to the "principles of life" Sorokin in Esquire:
Why is Russia good? The fact that this is a grotesque country, for a writer is just Eldorado. Some Swiss writer, he is forced to look for something painful, but here-please: everything lies on the surface.
It is difficult to disagree. Here, for example - right on the public procurement website:
"Valentina Matvienko’s dinners cost a budget of 5 thousand rubles daily." And you, Russian, tighten the belt for the sake of winning
- Pavel Pryanikov (@netovetz) August 7, 2015Actually, information about the cost of power for Matvienko appeared on December 12 last year, but they paid attention to it only now. The first, it seems, was Newsru.com:
The food of the Chairman of the Council of the Federation Valentina Matvienko, it turns out, is a separate expense item. And if you calculate how much the food of the Speaker of the Council costs in one working day, you will get a rather large amount - almost five thousand rubles.
In total, in 2015, 1.2 million rubles were allocated for the “provision of food services for the chairman of the Federation Council”. This year is only 247 working days. By simple calculations, it can be found that Matvienko can spend about 4.8 thousand rubles on food every day. It is worth noting that members of the sphere have fewer business days than other Russians: as a rule, the Federation Council is going to spring (from January 25 to July 15) and autumn (from September 16 to December 31) of the session. This is stated by the regulatory chamber of parliament.
Information about the cost of the Chairman of the Council was posted on the official state procurement portal on December 12, 2014. Delivery time - from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. The amount of the contract is 1 million 200 thousand Russian rubles, the federal budget is the source of financing.
Well, pleasant appetite. You can also wish the civil servants to be purchased by the so -called "prohibited" food. Writes Navalny :
Some employees of the FBK so angry with the campaign to destroy products, which, of course, began to look for the public procurement of Parmesan. Moreover, according to the dates after the introduction of "antisanctions" prohibiting European products.
It turned out that our officials rushed to the "sanctions" for both cheeks.
Truly, "Sorokin" plots.
