This book could be called a guide to dissent. Art critic, philosopher, and publicist Boris Efimovich Groys, in conversations with film director, artist, and curator Svetlana Baskova, touches on significant moments in the cultural history of Russia and Europe in the twentieth century. The dual nature of Soviet anti—Semitism under the guise of "fighting cosmopolitanism", which the future author of the book "Gesamtkunstwerk Stalin" encountered in early childhood, as the first lessons of social psychology. Koktebel of the 60s, a meeting place for creative bohemians, Silver Age characters and Soviet intellectuals, is one of the centers of alternative culture. Moscow conceptualism and samizdat — as part of the global cultural process of the 60-70s and as an escape from Soviet reality. KGB methods of the 80s, emigration, the cultural and university environment of Europe in the 90s... Fear, resistance, freedom. Personal and social. Randomness and regularity. What do Dmitry Prigov and Taylor Swift have in common? How does ideology control emotions? How does culture turn garbage into metaphysics? How does a word become a form of confrontation? Boris Groys talks about this and many other things "both jokingly and seriously."
