Kolta continues the “In Separation” project with a conversation with a man who has made a final decision for himself: to stop thinking about a possible return to the country, and to stubbornly build his life where he found himself – in Spain. Let us recall that the “In Separation” project is dedicated to the new identities that have emerged or are just emerging among people since the start of the war – in Russia and beyond.

Kolt continues the project “in separation” , formally dedicated to the relationship of “those who left” and “remaining”, but truly-how the identity of people have changed from the beginning of the war, wherever they are geographically. The new text of the project is devoted to the simple fact that the editorial office has repeatedly and bitterly encountered. It became very difficult for people divided by state borders to speak with each other; The same words began to mean different things.

Kolt continues the project “In separation” by the text of the journalist, ex-head of “such affairs” Vladimir Shvedov. The dilemma that tormented and continues to torment many-to be in the country or leave, stay in exile or return-Swedes decided in his own way. His answer: neither there nor there. Read how possible.

Kolt continues the project “In separation” - about who we became after the start of the war, wherever we are geographically. Explaining our intentions, the editors have repeatedly said that she did not want to fit into a formally cooled, but far from permitted, extremely destructive public conflict between the “left” and “remaining”. But what is its nature, can it be, yes, logically explained, but still by a great collective error?

As we promised, the project “in separation” is extremely interested in what was called “human documents” in the 20th century: diaries, letters, wartime testimonies, where people are visible without their social masks or without obligations to a public word and “literature”, where the voice and thought are minimally distorted by medium.

The obvious problem that arose along with mass emigration after the outbreak of war is the lack of a direct dialogue between those who left the country, and those who decided or were forced to stay at home. All that we were supposed to be content in these years is an exchange of blows and mutual accusations of social networks, a barren, monotonous and deeply destructive. Recently, even these imaginary discussions as a whole have come to naught.

Today, a new long-awaited project "In Separation" starts on Kolt. What will it be about? Separation is a polysemantic word that must now resonate in different minds and hearts with different strengths. For those who left the country since the beginning of the war, it is separation from their homeland, from their previous comfortable and clear life.

Evgenia Vezhlyan , Anna Narinskaya , Ella Rossman and Olga Sedakova - from different countries and cities - about what is happening to us today. What was happening deprived me of the speechlessness, but the slightest desire to express, inform, announce what I can think about it.
