THE PSYCHOLOGY OF UTOPIA, OR HOW LOSERS FOUND THEMSELVES A RELIGION
An uncensored guide to the zoo of radical ideas Author: Vladimir Starok Translated by Andrew Andersen I was sitting in a café in the center of Tel Aviv. Not the best time for a café. Not the best place for philosophical observation. But life goes on — probably the only thing it knows how to do without asking, without pause, even when you didn’t request it. In the lull between air raids. And then they came in. Straight from the protest at the Habima Theatre. There was yet anot

ПСИХОЛОГИЯ УТОПИИ, ИЛИ КАК ЛУЗЕРЫ НАШЛИ СЕБЕ РЕЛИГИЮ
Нецензурированный путеводитель по зоопарку радикальных идей Автор: Владимир Старок Я сидел в кафе в центре Тель-Авива. Не в лучшее время для кафе. Не в лучшее место для философских наблюдений. Но жизнь продолжается — это, пожалуй, единственное, что она умеет делать без спроса и без паузы, даже когда ты её об этом не просил. В перерыве между бомбёжками. И тут они вошли. Прямо с акции у театра Габима. Там шла очередная «антивоенная» манифестация — из тех, где слово «антивоенная

VANITY FAIR: SELECTIVE EMPATHY AND DOUBLE STANDARDS
Elena Prigova / New York And now a few words about cinema—with its “vanity fair” and moral posturing. I held back for a long time, but eventually couldn’t resist commenting on the most recent Golden Globe Awards. Celebrities walk the red carpet glittering with diamonds and rehearsed smiles, wearing small black-and-white pins on their lapels, their faces carefully arranged into expressions of public grief. “BE GOOD.” “ICE OUT.” All in memory of a single individual, Rene Nicol

MURDERERS AND THEIR ACCOMPLICES
By Inna Kurochkina-Pugach Translated into English by Andrew Andersen For centuries, Russia has been a source of unchecked violence — and yet the world, once again, seems determined “to repeat.” Determined to forget the past, to give Moscow another chance, to hope that maybe this time things will somehow be different. Russia commits large-scale atrocities and then slips out of blame with almost practiced, satanic dexterity. At the same time, it buys the services of Western int

FEUDALISM THEN AND NOW
Author: T. Tumanishvili Translated by: A. Andersen 1. Social Stability as a Foundation for Growth Feudalism provided a stable social structure. Everyone knew their place and their duties, which ensured a degree of safety and predictability. Against this background, artisans, merchants, and the clergy could cultivate their crafts, commerce, and spiritual life. 2. Economic Interdependence Although peasants were dependent, they were also indispensable — their labor sustained the

ФЕОДАЛИЗМ ТОГДА и СЕГОДНЯ
Т. Туманишвили 1. Социальная стабильность как основа для роста Феодализм создавал устойчивую структуру общества. Каждый знал своё место и обязанности, что обеспечивало относительную безопасность и предсказуемость жизни — на этом фоне ремесленники, торговцы, духовенство могли развивать свои сферы. 2. Экономическая взаимозависимость Хотя крестьяне были зависимы, они также были незаменимы — их труд обеспечивал весь строй. Это давало им определённое влияние на местном уровне, осо
