How long have I been restraining myself? Somehow it still seemed not too respectable to mention Ksyusha in a serious conversation. But weak in a certain way, like any male creature. That's why I can't stand it anymore. Although, naturally, I will try to find an excuse for myself.

Yes, of course, numerous colleagues from various editorial offices have been calling me all this morning and asking for comments on yesterday’s publications of stolen audio recordings.

Pushkin Lilia Shevtsova, who is very, very respected by me, does not often express her position on Ekho Moskvy. I want to say right away that her analyzes and forecasts are, as a rule, non-trivial, sometimes unexpected and always interesting.

Worn paper from 1920. Grandfather's archive, the custodian of which I have been for a long time. A long time ago, at a snotty age, out of bewilderment, I personally glued it together with duct tape. It remains that way. Now you can't tear it off. Due to the lack of proper technology, it is impossible to read individual parts of words. The organization of the “revolutionary bureau” or “political bureau” is not very clear.

I don’t understand why everyone is so excited about Nemtsov’s wiretapping? I haven't seen it either. Now, if they leaked the wiretapping of Putin’s conversations, I think it would blow up not only Russia... When I had just come to work in the Kazan Kremlin, one day a security officer, an FSO officer, came into my office. He walked in, sat down, took a piece of paper, and wrote: “The wiretapping works for 24 hours. Be silent." In general, we talked. At the same time, without saying a word.

I'm talking with a colleague. Same age. A very decent woman. Even too decent. “Yuri Mikhailovich, you write swear words in the originals,” the decent woman bitterly states - Of course, swearing! Otherwise the works lose their meaning. Swearing is mainly in the direct speech of the characters. Infernal vocabulary is not very applicable for descriptions and narratives - I’m foolishly trying to explain something from the writer’s kitchen. - But... (illegible link)...
