Ilya Milstein. Courtesy Photo Deja vu - it happens differently. Some, roughly speaking, metaphysical, when you go along an unfamiliar area of a foreign city, you consider cops and galls and light it near the monument - and you suddenly feel that all this was already with you, walked, stared and cooked, and when it was and why - you don’t know. Or you read a good book of an unknown author and suddenly remember the plot, but this, they say, is not deja vu, but sclerosis, because you smoke a lot.
