"Commander of the Lolita group", ideologist of Kuryokhin’s festival SKIF, and a lot of other things—Aleksey “Plusha” Plyusnin has long been a distinctive master of the pen. Political correctness, balance, and carefulness—these are the three pillars that never supported his literary work. Only the word, like a wave from the vibration of the heart—some kind of spiritual speaking—was the shaping principle, the foam from which, year after year, almost all of his verbal Aphrodites were born." Sergey Guryev, editor of the magazine KontrKulUra. “The Book by Aleksey Plyusnin is not just a bright and convincing attempt at self-identification in the context of contemporary culture, or an autobiography packed with a multitude of meetings and adventures. It’s an engaging map/guide in an artistic and countercultural journey through cities, countries, and music spanning several decades. And there’s also an important experience you can share only by living it fully—experiencing it, acquiring it, or, on the contrary, avoiding it—after reading this book, it will be much easier.” A.
