A sharp commentator always thrives on the latest news. Reactionary on a Platform is a passionate response by the authors to events in their country and around the world, "rantings and ravings" aimed at current politicians and bureaucrats: "We are among those who, in the words of Solzhenitsyn, think that you can't cure your own sickness with someone else's health. But to understand your own 'sickness', you need to know your own culture and understand the realia, which define the potential route to recovery..."
You can agree with the authors, you can disagree with them... But the book makes you think. Think about the past, the present and the future. About yourself, about life, about the destiny of the country in which you live. |

"The hardest thing, I think, is to talk simply about the complex and comprehensibly and about the incomprehensible. Pasternak was fully entitled to write poetry full of dark thought – in his day, it was natural, normal. In Pushkin's day, that wouldn't have been permitted – a poet had to be clear. Pasternak started with poetry that was very unclear in thought but, at the end of the road, he arrived at great simplicity." "Originality itself stopped being essential. Original today is whatever sells. Whatever doesn't sell isn't original. Postmodernism is, on its own basis, completely borrowed from years gone by. The work, even of big artists like Schnittke, is made up of eclectic collections of what has been done before them." "The fear of mediocrity is the fear of a person who doesn't feel sufficiently afflicted with talent to break all barriers." |
