Sociologist “The self-propulsion of musical material has the same source as the social process.” If this is sociology, then it is very strange . In music, the norm is opposed to individuation; in society, the general is opposed to the particular; the source of these irreconcilable contradictions is probably the dialectic of some incorporeal entities, invisible gods, moving in their complicated orbits.

Bykov-quickly: look-7 Dmitry Bykov Publication date: June 28, 2001 1. Recently, a lot has been said about the fact that it is time to restore a single body of culture. To grow it together, so to speak, by returning to cultural life the forcibly ejected writers, patriotic directors, Slavophile artists - and so on, so on, so on. How much is possible, in the end?! Don't ask who said this. It’s easy to name the names, but that’s not the point. The idea was in the air.

Looking around the forum Alexander Sokolyansky Publication date: June 28, 2001 The forum dedicated to Ilya Smirnov’s “Bubbles” has already accumulated hundreds of three postings, and reading them, especially at first, is a fascinating thing. No, who would have thought that an art criticism article, not without flaws (even the most ardent supporters of the article talk about the flaws), would cause such a powerful response from readers!

Great human cinema At the Moscow Film Festival Natalya Sirivlya Publication date: June 28, 2001 The Moscow International Festival , which was quietly dying three or four years ago, is being revived before our eyes as a cultural event of a national scale.

Repression of the real Part 1. “Real” as pain “PR Week” in RJ was opened with a significant and promising question : if PR is so total and omnipresent, as is commonly believed in some places, then why does political power still belong not to its priests, but to its reapers , that is, those who reap the PR fruits , and not to those who sow them? Personally, I would not undertake to answer this question seriously and meaningfully, fearing, among other things, to get confused in modalities...

Hypothesis: Chubais took over Gusinsky’s business Efim Dikiy Publication date: June 28, 2001 It would seem that the saga with NTV is finally over. The circus (Kiselev and Co.) left, the clowns ("Crime", Novozhenov and other Zabuzovs) remained. Everyone is satisfied and happy in their own way. However, is it all that simple?

In an unexpected move, the European Commission decided to change its understanding of how jurisdictional issues in the field of e-commerce should be resolved. Until now, the prevailing (fortunately, unofficially) point of view was that the conflict between the consumer and the service provider was settled in accordance with the legislation of the consumer’s country.
