A finger to the lips after a goal against the Dutch national team. Four fingers after four - against Liverpool. The UEFA Cup winner's medal is on the neck of two-year-old son Artem. Andrei Arshavin was not only involved in almost all significant achievements in Russian football in the 2000s, he also created its newest image - ambiguous, contradictory, but extremely memorable.

it became known: Americans Animal Collective, one of the most influential groups of the 2000s, will release a new album “Centipede Hz” in September this year

the idea was this: even if they don’t deserve it, they need to be promoted, they need to be given attention. So that someone needs football in the country. I remember how I was bursting with pride in the first couple of years of work, when I saw on the subway that a person was holding Sport Express in his hands and reading my note. Bli-i-i-n! It was torn from the inside with the desire to say: it’s me, I’m the author. In the end, of course, I never did that. The superstar was Sergei Mikulik.

it became known: # “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” by Dmitry Krymov, participating in the Russian program of the Edinburgh Festival, will be shown at the “School of Dramatic Art” in September

fan, and a second later he was shouting into the phone to someone: “I met Arshavin here, well, as a person, he’s complete shit!” - although Andrei just gave him an autograph. He may not be very friendly, but for Arshavin there is a certain category of people labeled “didn’t let you down” - and with these people he will always communicate and maintain relationships. The most telling example is his friendship with Gleb Grozovsky, a priest who flies with the team.

Vera Pogodina, curator, about the Time/Food project - I really liked the event at the Stella Art Foundation. On the one hand, this is a performance, on the other, a lecture-discussion on the topic “Art and Rebellion.” Yes, it turned out that everything coincided with our political situation. It looks like this: a kitchen has been built in the gallery where lunches are prepared. You come, eat for free, but register on the site, indicating what you personally can do.

An enigmatic man with a perpetually perplexed expression, Romantsev was Russia's top football executive in the 1990s. He almost never communicated with the players, personally made all the key decisions and gained enormous authority over the course of several years - such that it was enough for Spartak’s eight and a half championships and several unsuccessful attempts to do something with the Russian national team.

By 2012, Russian football finally elected its speaker. Roman Shirokov does not hesitate to put his finger on officials, call the Slovak national team a “collective farm”, express complaints to fans in person, openly bargain with his club - and do this in all genres and forms: from 140 characters on Twitter to an interview in a glossy magazine, from a three-minute obscene monologue to a personally written column.

“And before there was nothing else.” There were tennis tables for ping-pong, small towns, football and hockey - that’s all, in principle. In the summer on the field, in the winter on the skating rink - that’s how we lived. By the way, I played Russian hockey, skated well, played for school, in general, all this was at a decent level. I started playing football at the age of nine and then saw nothing else but this game. I liked it.

In the decisive match of the last round, Rotor loses to Spartak at home. The Volgograd team takes second place for the second and last time in its history; Oleg Veretennikov becomes the top scorer of the championship for the second and not the last time Volgograd “Rotor” is the first step of Russian football towards decentralization: a provincial team without budgetary support, resting solely on the enterprise of the future deputy Goryunov and the great love of the fans.
