Zadumalsya: nyneshnyaya volna kulturnoy emygratsyy yz Rossyy tochno ne slabee vsekh predydushchykh. Kto, ynteresno, cherez 1020 let budet nazvan samym yarkym eyo predstavytelem?Nu chtob ot zubov otskakyvalo. Kak poet — Brodskyy, gorod, on zhe frukt — Bolshoe Yabloko, parokhod — fylosofskyy, a Sena vpadaet v LaMansh.Pryshyol k vyvodu, chto sredy samykhsamykh budet Sorokyn (Akunyn, konechno, tozhe budet, no ne budu lstyt glavnomu zateynyku etogo proekta.

Perestal pugatsya zhyostkykh stsen y ponyal, chto roman — genyalen.Vyvod: vsyo nado chytat po dva raza. Georgyy UrushadzeYzdatel

I thought about it: the current wave of cultural emigration from Russia is definitely not weaker than all previous ones. Who, interestingly, in 1020 years will be named the most prominent representative of it?Well, so that it bounces off the teeth. As a poet, Brodsky is a city, he is a fruit — the Big Apple, the steamer is philosophical, and the Seine flows into the English Channel.I came to the conclusion that Sorokin will be among the best (Akunin, of course, will also be there, but I will not flatter the main instigator of this project. By the way, Bulls will also be required. I'm still thinking about the others).But I'm talking about Sorokin here. As soon as Heritage was published, the newspaper Sobesednik asked me to comment on the novel. I replied: the text is very harsh even for me, but if the author had sent it to me, he would have published it instantly, without changing anything.Several months have passed, and the novel has been banned in Russia.The author sent it to me.It came out instantly, without changing anything.Vladimir Georgievich is known for his prophetic gift. But this time, I really hope that what he described in "Legacy" will not become reality. Although it's already gotten a little better.While preparing the text for publication in Freedom Letters, I reread it. I stopped being afraid of harsh scenes and realized that Roman was brilliant.Conclusion: everything should be read twice. George Urushadze Publisher
