59 Reasons Not to Kill Yourself
Морально готовлюсь к поездке в Россию, читая 59 Reasons Not to Kill Yourself из газеты eXile (той самой, которая в свое время отметилась великолепным гербарием московских типажей - ментов, гламурных девушек, панков и интеллигентов). Написано, в общем, очень прикольно, оказывается, в России дела идут не так уж и плохо :)
2. Two week nation-wide zapoi after New Year's (There's nothing like a collective binge followed by a month of regret to make you feel like part of a community!)
7. Average murder sentence is 7 year
9. Working on your Moskvich
10. You will not want to miss seeing how the US administration complete ly fucks up the Iran/Iraq.
28. You'll become a ded one day, too
32. United Russia wants 30 million members by 2008.
39. Suicide is so Finno-Urgic
40. Average life expectancy rose to 59
42. The new Lada redesign
43. Incoming calls set to become free
44. Moscow is the Third Rome
52. Nochnoi Dozor III
54. Olympics in Sochi
56. It's a multipolar world after all
Отдельные пассажи представляют собой злую пародию на![[info]](http://lj.rossia.org/img/userinfo-lj.gif)
krylov@lj и других наших жж-шных мыслителей. Например, You've been reading up on the way things REALLY are in the West for years now, culling articles from Komsomolskaya Pravda, Moskovsky Komsomolets, and other key sources. But you still haven't been able to corner a Westerner yet to tell him exactly how things are run in the West, why they are run the way they are. More important, you haven't been able to explain to any American or Brit yet how English is a "simple" language that is "rational" but not expressive like Russian, which has so many nuances. You know this because you've read about it -- and in any event, everyone knows this to be true. Except those Westerners. If you can just get an audience with them, you'd make them see how well you understand things.
Aggravating Factor: You don't speak any English, and the three or four Westerners you've so far come across didn't speak any Russian. What's the point of sticking around in this life to engage in long, pedantic harangues over a range of important topics, if not a single word you utter is understood?
