"There will be a polyphony of opinions, but there will be no years"
- In the publishing house “New Literary Review”, a new series began to publish this year - “What is Russia”, whose editor you, Dmitry, are. If I understand correctly, the name itself refers to the name of the last book of Fernan Brodel “What is France?”. If the last assumption is true, then what is the disappearance of the interrogative sign? Is this an application for a certain “normative” statement, the establishment of an appropriate way to describe such an object as “Russia”?
