Goodbye, August 1991. Tatyana Malkina about what was left of the coup thirty with something years later

We live in a strange year. No matter how sad it is to recognize, but ideologists and instigators of a special military war, screaming at Russians from each television or radio broadcasting point, are somewhat right: the world has changed, it will no longer be the same. What it will be, and whether it will be at all, they do not say, and no one knows.

In addition to macro signs of an irreversible change in the world, visible to everyone and everyone, there are also very tiny, private. For example, this August for the first time in 31 years, not a single journalist asked me to talk about August 91st and did not ask to answer the question, "how you asked Yanaeva a question." What, believe me, I'm only glad, because how much is possible and why. I just lyrically thought about the laws of existing (and dying) inherent in us by mythologists and narratives.

In addition, there are simple explanations lying on the surface. Firstly, in the past, the anniversary, even the lazy year, the lazy were seriously bombed on the topic of the putsch. I remember, then I practically gave myself a vow of humility and ministry and did not refuse any of the dozens of the media that have turned, except for one-Russia-24 (although the producer of their large documentary project about the coup, which was instructed to get me, turned out to be so charming, smart and understanding everything that I was seriously hesitated on the topic “giving the world a chance, but at the last moment, glorious to God).

Secondly, not at all, to be honest.

Where are the money subscribers going

Most Republic materials are available by paid subscription. We believe that this is a good way to finance media. After all, as you know, if you have not paid for reading it, then someone else paid for you to read it. In our case, everything is honest: from your money, salaries and fees are paid to journalists, and they write about important and interesting topics for you.

The key feature of our subscription: your money is distributed between Republic magazines depending on how you read it. If you read the materials of one magazine, then your money will go only to him, while others will not go. That is, you finance only what you are interested in.

Republic uses the Redefine.media subscription. For design, we will redirect you to the Redefine.media website, where you will need to register and pay for the subscription. Authorization on the Redefine.Media website will allow you to read Republic materials from the same device.

A year subscription is more profitable than a month. And if you want to unsubscribe, this can always be done in your personal account.
