because you are talking about how capitalism is a system based on greed that distorts everything around it? well what is putin's russia, then? what was the soviet union? are you honestly telling me that journalism in the soviet union was better? HAHA.
and, again, i know plenty about russian literary culture and arts. i've read lots, including formalists and theorists like propp and todorov (after bakhtin). just because i haven't read every bestselling work of socialist realist literature, in which little igor goes to the big city and realises that he's been in love with his tractor back home on the farm all along, doesn't mean i am clueless. and i can talk to you a lot about the artists that the soviet union deserted, exiled, ruined, destroyed. are you really telling me you think sholokhov is better than the mandelstams? how many party hacks are worth one anna akhmatova? you are deluded.
