How I almost got into a fight, Moldova, 2007 - Radka Rubilina
01/05/2014 13:32
In Moldova, in Kishinev/Chisinau, I was waiting for a microbus (also known as marshrutka) that would take me to the opposite side of the city. In Kishinev, public transportation does not exist; it came to the end together with the Soviet Union. Like anywhere in the East, the heavily producing...

30/03/2014 21:26
Oh, this inattentiveness of mine!
With my head always somewhere in high transcendent spheres, no wonder things were happening the way they were. I get groceries, go back home, take a look at my bag, and…all apples I fully and dully paid for are missing. I am thinking, “Are the local salesmen...

Monitoring of an election process can be very thrilling, though not really in case you have been assigned to an uninhabited land strip alongside the Ukraine – Russia state border; not much of the election thrill you can expect here. Election observers tend to serve in pairs and this time I was...

I have been driving since 18 years old. But this is a new job and rules are rules, so I had to pass an exam on driving again. One of the local drivers was sitting next to me, observing how and if I can open a car with a remote key control. “And what is this?” teasing him, I pointed at the hand...
Radka Rubilina: Stone Symphony / Death of a Hen, Armenia 2013
06/03/2014 13:31
You cannot overlook them already in the capitol city, which is so unsuitable for riding a bike; and not only because of the quick-tempered car and truck drivers. It is mainly because of all those ever present bumps and inclines, steep valleys and rock walls, which rip the city up into...

Somebody asked me a question: “And is there actually anything interesting in Chisinau? I got into some thinking for a minute, also having a sip of beer together with a drag from a cigarette. “Nothing,” I said.

Good Family or Intelligent Family (Inteligentnaja Semja)? Radka Rubilina, Armenia, 2013
12/02/2014 18:19
A heart of the Caucasus; buzz, movement, fast talk. A center of the city welcomes me with its own life style. Riding an off-road jeep with big tires, I am trying to figure out if the driving bravura here is resembling more Eastern European or African driving standards. Really not easy to...

Проблематика отношения автора, повествователя и читателя в текстах Варлама Шаламова по сравнению с другими лагерными авторами — особенно сложна. Елена Михайлик видит в этом отношении результат глубоко присущего, твёрдого убеждения автора, что лагерный опыт для человека является вредным,...
