A collection of essays by perhaps the most brilliant Russian columnist.
A collection of essays by perhaps the most famous and witty Russian columnist Lev Rubinstein is composed of chapters on a variety of topics: morality and reading in cafes, historical memory and mobile communications, national pride and buying cigarettes, patriotism and cuisine as a locus, Bulgakov and the train in Bulgakovo , political correctness and children’s radio programs in the USSR, the boyish art of spitting on the streets of the 50s and the frequency overshoot of the word «cattle» in the 2000s. The chronicle of the history of the Fatherland of the last half century is written in detail and in detail with irony and tenderness rare in journalism, in the book there are ten aphorisms per page and one recipe for victory over evil: “you just need to understand everyone.”
