Уехать нельзя остаться. Из семейной переписки Бурлюков и Делоне.

Bolʹshai͡a semʹi͡a Burli͡ukov posle revoli͡ut͡sii i Grazhdanskoĭ voĭny razdelilasʹ - chastʹ semʹi navsegda pokinula Sovetskui͡u Rossii͡u, chastʹ ostalasʹ na rodine. To zhe sluchilosʹ i s semʹeĭ i obshirnym krugom druzeĭ Soni Delone. No, nesmotri͡a na zakrytye vrode by granit͡sy, perepiska v obeikh semʹi͡akh ne prekrashchalasʹ godami, i osnovnym motivom beskonechnykh pisem byl spor uekhavshikh s ostavshimisi͡a - ob opravdannosti begstva, o strakhe pered budushchim i o tom, pravilʹnym li bylo to ili inoe reshenie. V svoeĭ novoĭ knige "Uekhatʹ nelʹzi͡a ostatʹsi͡a" pisatelʹ i issledovatelʹ Evgeniĭ Demenok, opirai͡asʹ na do sikh por neopublikovannye arkhivy, pytaetsi͡a vosstanovitʹ ėtu perepisku i vnovʹ - i vnovʹ - zagovoritʹ o do sikh por ne teri͡ai͡ushcheĭ aktualʹnosti teme. Potomu chto bolʹ, kotorai͡a soprovozhdala ėtikh li͡udeĭ na proti͡azhenii ikh dramaticheskikh i, chasto, tragicheskikh zhizneĭ, ostaetsi͡a bolʹi͡u vsegda - i dli͡a tekh, kto uezzhaet, i dli͡a tekh, kto ostaetsi͡a. Nezavisimo ot togo, v kakie strashnye vremena proiskhodi͡at opisyvaemye sobytii͡a.

The large Burlyuk family split up after the revolution and the Civil War — part of the family left Soviet Russia forever, part remained in their homeland. The same thing happened to Sonia Delaunay's family and wide circle of friends. But despite the seemingly closed borders, the correspondence in both families did not stop for years, and the main motive of the endless letters was a dispute between those who left and those who remained — about the justification for flight, about fear of the future and about whether this or that decision was the right one. In his new book "You can't Leave, you can't Stay", writer and researcher Evgeny Demenok, relying on hitherto unpublished archives, tries to restore this correspondence and again and again to talk about a topic that still remains relevant. Because the pain that accompanied these people throughout their dramatic and often tragic lives always remains a pain, both for those who leave and for those who stay. No matter what terrible times the events described take place.
