Zadumalsi͡a: nyneshni͡ai͡a volna kulʹturnoĭ ėmigrat͡sii iz Rossii tochno ne slabee vsekh predydushchikh. Kto, interesno, cherez 1020 let budet nazvan samym i͡arkim eë predstavitelem?Nu chtob ot zubov otskakivalo. Kak poėt - Brodskiĭ, gorod, on zhe frukt - Bolʹshoe I͡Abloko, parokhod - filosofskiĭ, a Sena vpadaet v LaMansh.Prishël k vyvodu, chto sredi samykhsamykh budet Sorokin (Akunin, konechno, tozhe budet, no ne budu lʹstitʹ glavnomu zateĭniku ėtogo proekta. Kstati, i Bykov tozhe budet obi͡azatelʹno. Pro ostalʹnykh eshchë razmyshli͡ai͡u).No i͡a zdesʹ pro Sorokina. Kak tolʹko vyshlo "Nasledie", gazeta "Sobesednik" poprosila meni͡a prokommentirovatʹ roman. I͡A otvetil: tekst ochenʹ surov dazhe dli͡a meni͡a, no, esli by avtor prislal ego mne - izdal by mgnovenno, nichego ne izmeniv.Proshlo neskolʹko mesi͡at͡sev, roman v RF zapretili.Avtor prislal ego mne.Izdal mgnovenno, nichego ne izmeniv.Vladimir Georgievich izvesten svoim prorocheskim darom. No v ėtot raz vsëtaki nadei͡usʹ, chto opisannoe im v "Nasledii" ne stanet realʹnostʹi͡u. Khoti͡a uzhe nemnogo stalo.Gotovi͡a tekst k pechati vo Freedom Letters, perechital. Perestal pugatʹsi͡a zhëstkikh st͡sen i poni͡al, chto roman - genialen.Vyvod: vsë nado chitatʹ po dva raza. Georgiĭ UrushadzeIzdatelʹ

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
