Если вы обитаете в Москве, очень рекомендую посетить:
14 июня в 12.00 в Центре современного искусства “Винзавод” состоится публичная лекция американского философа-неолуддита Джона Зерзана под названием «Примитивистский взгляд на углубляющийся кризис цивилизации».
Джона Зерзана называют самым интересным мыслителем нашего времени: в своих работах Джон критикует цивилизацию, технический прогресс и символическую культуру. По его мнению, все современные общественные и властные институты должны быть уничтожены. Книги Зерзана стали теоретической базой для образования нового течения в анархизме - анархо-примитивизма.
Издав несколько книг и журналов, Джон Зерзан стал настолько популярным, что на основе его интервью было снято несколько документальных фильмов, часть которых будет показана в рамках лекции.
Вход свободный.
Адрес:
м. Курская, 4-й Сыромятнический переулок, дом 1, стр. 6, Бродильный цех (6ой корпус).

Отснял, смонтировал и загрузил на ютуб все три видео конференций Дж. Зерзана в Монреале. Обитатели ютуба в восторге.
Лейла написала подробное и чрезвычайно оригинальное вступление:
John Zerzan is one of the most interesting contemporary thinkers in the United States, at least. Like everything else in life, in order to fully appreciate Zerzan’s contribution to epistemology or the philosophy of civilisation, first, one has to read his work and hear his conferences – for, here, I only present my personal interpretation of his theory – and second, consider the context through which his voice and energy resonate. His contribution becomes even more impressive in light of the processes of Western institutionalisation of Thought and commodification of Knowledge – a totalitarian context that tolerates no challenge (philosophical or otherwise) that would threaten “the American way of life…

| Lenin's cradle part 1 |
[15 Apr 2008|09:22pm] |
My cousin Misha remains as vivacious and spontaneous as I remember him from childhood. One evening, he walked through the door and announced that first thing in the morning he was driving a car to Ulianovsk, the former Simbirsk, the birthplace of Vladimir Ilich Lenin, 950 km towards the Ural mountains, that famous range that separates Europe from Asia. We couldn’t resist such an opportunity and so, the next dawn Sasha, Liouba and I headed towards sunrise.
Through Kolomna:
The river Voblia (река Вобля), border of Moscow and Riazan’ regions:

| Malino |
[15 Apr 2008|09:19pm] |
After visiting aunt Lida and cousin’s Lena’s family in Moscow, we headed to my eldest aunt Zina,where she lives in a house with her youngest daughter, Tania in Malino. Malino is where my grandmother had finally agreed to move to from Nikolo Titeli and where she died. Although Nikolo is my beloved ideal, a time of pure happiness, where I used to hide in sunflower fields in the summer or watched the earth hidden in a deep comforter of snow to its horizon in winter – my secret moomin winter past – I have fond memories of Malino too. My cousin Misha would drive me on his motorcycle over the picturesque river and the surrounding flowering grass and lush forests. This year, we made a pilgrimage to both places.

Funny how the use of language can influence our experience of reality. If people are told repeatedly that green is black and that yellow is green, that’s what they begin to see. In fact, there are numerous experiments in the study of psychology of language, where it’s been observed that when different shades of the colour blue, as an example, have been flashed to native speakers of languages that had different names for these colours and to those who didn’t, the native speakers of the more shades of blue perceived them as different and separate colours, whereas those whose native language had only one term, saw them as basically one colour.

| Celebration of the vampires |
[14 Apr 2008|12:52am] |
Something fun always happens in Russia. Historically, it’s been a place with much more action than any hollywood film. O.k. This doesn’t compare with 1917, but it was still full of passion and contradictions, and all that is so wrong and wonderful with the human soul.
Sasha dropped by the celebration of Red Easter by Alexandre Dugin and his sheep. Russians are not worse than anybody else and so fetishism and gadgets have an appeal with the young and dreaming (of a bright future filled with shiny gadgets) and when a youth has his armpits bandaged by Dugin’s arrows, well that helps develop an intelligent, concentrated look, the one that is dressed in school, when the teacher’s pet looks at her wide eyed and big mouthed, ready to gobble anything that would give a chance to a cakeful life.
But not all of them are vamps:

| Return to Babje part 1 |
[10 Mar 2008|01:51pm] |

A year later, we returned to Babje, whose population has grown, once again:
The horse Senelga had room-mates in her barn: a goat with her kid.
May has grown into a beautiful Collie.
And little Afanasij, who was born the previous summer, joined the 3 older knights.

Moral of the story:
Nowhere to hide from democracy. It will haunt you, even without television, technology – in the most primitive and blissful of paradises, the candidates will descend upon you from the beyond, manifesting their true face and message through the tent. During the white nights, the candidates gleam through.

This is how we went: Liouba and I in one kayak with our tent and clothes. Sasha harboured the two boys in his kayak. Lionja rowed the whole food supply in the rubber boat and fishing and other artillery.

Ira, who was expecting their fourth child, stayed at home with little Tihon (3 years old at the time). Lionja took the older two boys, Fadei (6) and Makar (5), and Sasha, Liouba (6) and I took the kayak trip on Tvertsa river.
Still fired up and ready to go.

| In the footsteps of Ukrainian Nationalists |
[08 Mar 2008|10:30pm] |

On Sunday, 4th of June, Liouba and I boarded the 10 am train to Lvov at the Simferopol Central Station. The plan was to get to Budapest through Lvov/Chop/Zahon’ and also see something of Ukraine.
Once upon a time – and historically speaking not such a long time ago, too, Russia and Ukraine were constituents of Kievan Rus’ – a kingdom pulled together by Riurik, a Varangian (Scandinavian) prince. Kievan Rus’ extended all the way to Yaroslavl in the north, Nizhny Novgorod in the north east and included in its cultural and physical space Novgorod the Great, Ladoga and Pskov. Since the historical sources have always been sponsored by the powerful and thus have mostly been biased (otherwise they would neither be “authoritative”, nor “sources”, nor “historical”) so, they often praise and glorify might and wealth and we know that those qualities depend on quantities, particularly on the extent of exploitation of land, sea, sky and people. That often means that the experience and the point of view of the majority (peasants, for example) is rarely present in the accounts we read.
“Hitler did”, “Charlemagne won”, “Napoleon lost”, “Alexander the Great conquered”…
“Really?” I sometimes respond. “HE did it all by himself! Just walked over, bullied and grabbed? Wow! Impressive!”
“No, silly,” am usually told. “He raised an army. He was a good strategist. A firm commander. A true leader. And so he conquered”.
