Zakhar Prilepin, a writer, headed the editorial staff of the Free Press website, published a collection of stories “Eight” “A wonderful novel, light, warmth and electricity emanate from it. There are books that work and change. Some do not carry negative, but such convulsive, heavy energy - this is, for example, the novel “The Germans” by Terekhov. And in others there is a different type of energy - like in Vodolazkin’s “Lavra”. These two books became my main impressions this year.

Dmitry Levitsky, owner of the “Darling, I’ll call you back...” bar chain, opened “Darling...” in Solntsevo and a secret bar without a sign, “Speakeasy.” “This is really a breakthrough.

And I hope that this breakthrough is not the last.”

Elena Yaichnikova, curator of the exhibition of Japanese art “Double Perspective” at MMSI “I want to note the “Pedagogical Poem” not so much for the exhibition part, but for the entire rich program of lectures that was there. This is not the first such educational art project in our country - the first was Auditorium Moscow, which I even nominated for the Innovation Award last year. The "Pedagogical Poem" was a continuation of this educational story.

Actually, it's all my wife's fault. Some time ago, she was again overcome by maternal instinct (we already have our own daughter). But this time she suggested something new: going not to the maternity hospital, but to the orphanage. For what?!

Leonid Volkov, a public figure, held elections to the Coordination Council of the Opposition “Elections are a tool for renewal and the emergence of competition. It is difficult for a person to change. To move forward, you need to change people. There were elections to the Coordination Council. They have something in common with the Magnitsky law.

I walked through the empty halls of the MMSI - this museum is always, of course, empty - and laughed out loud like an idiot, with such a Bakhtinian, Homeric laugh. Then I went into the next room and saw Kesha Nilin there, who also had unimaginable jubilant delight on his face.

Khatuna Kolbaya, restaurateur, opened Saperavi Café “More and more people can afford to go to a restaurant! You can see how the guests change before your eyes, more and more people come for the food. It seems that the days of large restaurant companies are ending and small ones are taking their place. Apparently, because small restaurants have very ideological and active owners who have nothing much to lose.”
