Smother all living things
Chronicles of the Flood about blocking, censorship and fear
In the new issue of “Chronicles of the Flood,” Tatyana Malkina and Irina Petrovskaya discuss how ordinary life is increasingly turning into a space of prohibitions, blocking, censorship and internal decay.
Why does turning off the mobile Internet look not like protection, but like a crossbow? Why do bans and restrictions already affect the simplest things - communications, everyday life, movement, access to information? What happens to the courts when absurdity becomes the norm? And why is there an increasingly noticeable feeling that people are losing the ability to hear each other, read, understand and talk without instant aggression?
The issue also talks about the film “Mr. Nobody vs. Putin”, about the case of Katerina Gordeeva*, about the reaction of one’s own circle to difficult conversations, about bullying, about censorship of books, about blocking Telegram and YouTube, and about a strange life in the mode of constantly getting used to the impossible.
