- What is happening in our country is well suited under the Bakhtinsky definition of a carnival. Sorry for the expression, "inversion of binary contrasts" and "turning the meaning of binary oppositions" occurs. In human language, the top becomes an bottom, the head is backwards, stupidity rises, the mind is belittling, the insignificance becomes the king of the carnival. Only the carnival is not funny with us - obscurantism, persecution of people, arson, the persecution of cultural figures ...

Remember, at Chukovsky in the "confusion": "Pigs sniffed, the cats snapped." It is a pity that at the top there is no bunny from this poem that the beasts of the unreasonable persuaded: “To whom it is ordered to chir - do not purr, who is ordered to purr - do not tweet!” Our main bunny has only to hit the table with his fist, and the menagerie will calm down right away. True, some zoologists say that the events in our cattle yard have already got out of control.

What to do? Here everyone decides for himself. I prefer to flounder like that frog, knocking off the oil from our rather sour milk with its paws. My floundering is songs, satire. Freud wrote that "a joke is the most suitable tool for those who seek to take the position of rebellion in relation to the authorities." Smile, gentlemen, smile!

The premiere of the new Disk of Timur Shaov "What does Freud have to do with it?" It will take place on September 27 at the Central House of Science on the Crimean Val and October 2 in the Bard-Kafe "Groundy Grounder"
