From the editorial office. The other day in the library of the Russian State Pedagogical University. A.I. Herzen met Lyudmila Ulitskaya with readers. RG publishes a record of this conversation made by Natalia Aleksyutina . * * * - Lyudmila Evgenievna, how do you assess the modern literary process in Russia? What writers do you advise you to pay attention from the point of view of language and meaning?

From the editorial office . A conversation with Peter Chaigin - happiness, penetration of speech competes with ready -made meanings and defeats them, the gift is revealed as a gift, and not as a given. Cheygin’s poetry does not prove which state of being is better, and which is worse, it always shows that heaven is no less than paradise already comprehended. So real joy is true, through the flour of comparisons and through gaining pure goodness.
