Five of the best "open dialogs"

Sorokina, Arkhangelsk, Genieva, Dud and others

One of the founders of the Open Library project, Nikolai Solodnikov, announced that “Open Dialogs” will no longer be held in the Mayakovsky St. Petersburg Library. A few days before, the FSB officers conducted a search in the library in connection with “Solodnikov’s employment” (he worked as deputy director of the institution for public relations; after the searches he wrote a letter of resignation). “[The security forces believe that] the leadership of the library concluded a fictitious labor contract with me and I received this money and spent it on extremism in the form of“ dialogs ”. It is clear that the cause of everything is “dialogs”. The FSB officers come to the library over the past year almost every month and are only interested in “dialogs”, ” said Solodnikov. Whether the project will be closed is still unknown. "Medusa" chose the five best "dialogs" of 2015.

1. Ekaterina Genieva and Alexander Arkhangelsky. "Witch Hunting"

2. Alexander Nevzorov and Sergey Parkhomenko. "End of history"

1. Yuri Dud and Fedor Pogorelov. "Near football"

1. Svetlana Sorokina and Nikolai Svanidze. "Russia: 15 years later"

1. Konstantin Sonin and Dmitry Butrin. "New Economic Reality"
