New Year's edition of "Chronicles of the Flood". We discuss how two realities coexist in the same time and space: the “dream of well-being” and the feeling of a prolonged nightmare. We talk about the leak of appeals to ombudsmen and the “base of despair”, about awards and propaganda rhetoric, about new bans and censorship (including in cinema), about oddities around education and “mandatory” instant messengers, and in the end - a little absurdity and hope: a pirated Harry Potter with advertising and a ban on advertisements for the sale of chinchillas.
