Goodbye, Russia! Again? 5 January 2008 @ 12:00 am [private post] Welcome to LiveJournal ... нации-недоросля :

Братья Пресняковы. Убить судью. Великое приключение Снайпера, коварной Наташи, черствого Хот-Дога и Железного Пепси. М.: АСТ, Астрель, Харвест, 2008 г.

or Убить, как «пописять»

and

Пирог – желудок – жопа

Culture?

«Россия» с сиськами

Ничуть не жалею, что не получила высшего образования

... a picture of RU. Another step. What didn't fit into filmplus.org/kino?

Vogue Russia January 2008... Ryuko Tsushin magazine January 2008... Tatu Pregnant, Maxim Russia... timeline

And anatolant.livejournal.com -- my blog on reading of Russia's online sources...

[ gazeta.ru -- references ]

Dmitri Medvedev officially becomes a candidate for President of Russia...

Tragic is disappearance of the high, the rest is comedy. [ Beckett' POV ] I am not about to cry over fools, who do not know that they are fools.

... I cry over myself.

Говорят, что время вообще не су'eствует, мы, люди, мол, придумали.

Не знаю, не знаю, меня это время просто мучает. Просто физически.

Я чувствую, что оно течет. И не где-то там, а во мне, прямо в сердце протекает...

I am tired of seeing my mistakes in English and Russian. I never was this man of letters -- "belletrist"! Is it too much to ask?

...

Что может быть после Рождества и Нового Года?

Январь, когда ничего не должно случатся.

...


What about filmplus.org/adiary/2008 ?
2007 -- done. 19 January 2008 @ 06:41 pm
2008 web2.0
Another place for RU writing? In addition to narod.ru & vtheatre
No system, no preference.
...
anatoly [LJ] Russian Writers sign "protest [ "Death of Bitov" ] Late Summer.

... 30 years later I write with Russian accent and mistakes. Nothing could done now. No surprise that I want to write in Russian, when I have time to write.

What a picture -- no two languages, but "in between." Nabokov's parody. Not even that.

What is left for me?

Nothing.

Another semester. Another year with a number as prisoner.

... 2008.9 : I write "for myself," this way I do not have to write.

No, I do not insist on anything. Not anymore.

Then what?

...

Все больше и больше мы знаем о будущем; ведь мы его планируем. Что если мы все будем знать о завтра? Победим время и -- тогда будет плохо.

Может всем нам хорошо, а мне -- плохо.

Хорошо, что меня тогда уже не будет.

Я знаю, что меня не будет, но не верю.

А говорят, что верят, когда не знают!

Может и наоборот.

...

Postmodern history is difficult to predict, because we make it... and we do not know what we are doing. And we like to lie to ourselves.

For LJ -- Year Later?

Too bad I didn't think about it before! Reflecting of what was one year ago -- and more challenging "Year Before"!

Two reflections -- Before and After ...

That's is (real) diary)!


{ 2008.1.html }

2008 knot(s)

My last American year.

It doesn't fell as the last; the same was in 1979 in Moscow.

...

Still experimenting with web-formats -- notes in web.vtheatre.net

2008.2 ... 2008.9 (September) ? and so on. [menu]

2008.a + 2008.b ... ?

... the end of voice of free Russia?

echo.msk.ru :

История предательств на www.agentura.ru в разделе "Досье"- Предатели, перебежчики и невозвращенцы. http://www.agentura.ru/dossier/usa/contract/

... What is in the middle? Me.

Interesting, since the "Century of Antohins" I lost this "serious" tone. I'll die laughing...

Why do they say "never say never"? Stupid. "Never" is very much about live, where no a single moment could be repeated. Very existential, very true. Never again. The Age of Vulgarity replaced wisdom with slogans.

"2008" ?

Never again.

... Еще приснопамятный маркиз де Кюстин описывал у нас в застойном 1839 году то же самодовольство, смешанное с поисками одобрения: «Большинством русских в их отношениях с жителями других стран движут дикая ревность и — ребяческая зависть».

Reading Russian media: web, newspapers, and other online sources (youtube.ru).

Russia lost it big time.

In 1917?

...

I didn't know that this year will be my last "American" year, when I started this project"2008"...

2009: one year later. Notes at LJ? "Time Mirrors"

In 2008.0 I should write about the concept : with New Times (Modernity) the "real" event lost its primacy, it includes the (potential) judgment from multiple futures. Present is never sure of itself anymore. Present-continued?

What does it do for future?

...

We rethink what "history" means, or the sense of history?

And reflections of reflections?

...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_2008 vs. ru.wikipedia.org

American (World) Time vs. Russian Time?

How different?

What's the difference?

29 января: Вблизи от Земли пролетел астероид TU24.

28 января: Во Владивостоке совершено покушение на вице-губернатора Приморского края Сергея Сопчука.

The obvious.
