Talk to me about trifles, Talk to me about eternity. Georgy Ivanov Last time our conversation was about different ways of expressing relevance - now it’s the turn to talk about the eternal.

After the publication of the well -known letter of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a month and a half, the purely party character of the Russian liberal movement was very peculiar. A wide discussion about the fate of the liberal idea of ​​the liberal idea that should have caused this message did not happen . In the central media, on -duty comments were adhering to the nature of publications, personally mentioned persons saphenically unsubscribed.

Shared future Publication date: June 14, 2004 It is symbolic that the presidential elections in Ukraine take place precisely in this anniversary year of the 350th anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine with Russia. With the reunification of 1654, in essence, the history of Russia as a European state began. In 2004, the two sovereign powers will once again have to decide how to build their relationship and what the common future of Russia and Ukraine will be.

Our dead Igor Mantsov Publication date: June 8, 2004 Oh simplicity. O clear head of the ill-informed citizen, me. Those who are extremely literate will find it uncomfortable to watch the Hollywood “Troy” . I knew for sure only three things. First: " Wrath, goddess, sing to Achilles, son of Peleus " . Second: the Achaeans besieged Troy of Asia Minor in order to free the woman Helen, who was allegedly worth fighting over.

Is it possible to reform Russia? Georgy Kireev Publication date: June 8, 2004 The month and a half that passed after the publication of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s famous letter in a very unique way confirmed the purely party nature of the Russian liberal movement. The broad discussion about the fate of the liberal idea that would save the Fatherland, which this message should have caused, never happened .

Predominantly favorable assistance Vladimir Malenkovich Publication date: June 10, 2004 I would not agree with the conclusions made by the temporary commission of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, and I consider this report to be largely opportunistic. The initiators of the creation of this Commission were the Communists, who have always traditionally opposed Western influence and freedom of dissemination of information.

Russia Day Polemical reflections on June 12 Sergey Markedonov Publication date: June 11, 2004 " Where does the state begin?" The very posing of such a question seems banal. When we talk about the state, we mean the administrative apparatus, the army and the police. Meanwhile, it is quite obvious that the bureaucracy of the Third Reich or the Stalinist USSR will differ significantly from the administrative and managerial structures of the democratic countries of Europe and the USA.

Bykov-quickly: look-64 Dmitry Bykov Publication date: June 8, 2004 The long pause in quickles this time was caused not so much by the rush work of finishing and submitting Pasternak’s biography for ZhZL (the book turned out to be thicker than Spelling , and only God knows what will happen to it), but by the absence in modern Russian life of reasons for a clear journalistic statement.

At the end of last year, on the initiative of Verkhovna Rada deputy Petro Symonenko, a special investigative commission was created “to establish facts of foreign participation in the financing of election campaigns,” which recently published a preliminary report on its activities.

You can, if you're not too lazy Gleb Pavlovsky Publication date: June 8, 2004 Georgy Kireev’s article is good with a brief, literal explanation of the political worthlessness of the myth of eternal Russian paternalism. What is true is the eternal return of this deserted idea into our echoing heads. What is she doing there? Every statement by the author carries a contradiction: (a) we have remained unchanged for centuries, but (b) the government changes us, sometimes for evil, sometimes for good.

Ideology is the art of metaphor. Not just metaphor, of course, but also metonymy, synecdoche, hyperbole - any form of “conjugation of distant ideas” and the presentation of the unlike by the unlike. The times of “ideological criticism” have already passed in the West, but in Russia the times of “ideological criticism” have never come, when putting the stamp “this is ideology” on this or that statement, idea or action meant morally destroying them.

With Tatya-Zammetka George Kireeva is good in a brief, alpondum with an explanation of the polynichnicity of the myth about eternal Russian paternalism. True only the eternal return of this deserted idea to our echoing heads. What is she doing there? Every statement of the author is contradictory: (a) we are unchanged from the age, but (b) the government changes us into evil or to the good.

Oh simple -mindedness. O uncomplicated head of a poorly informed citizen, me. It will be uncomfortable to watch the Hollywood "Troy" very well. I probably knew only three things. First: " Anger, goddess, sing Achilles, Poleeva Son ." The second: the Achaeans besieged the Maloazi Troy with the aim of freeing the woman Elena, which seemed to be worth fighting because of her.
