Description

Thirteen contemporary writers who write in Russian created thirteen stories about the structures of life in their cultures: different, yet based on the same phenomena and processes. Growing up (for example, through a computer game, as in Dasha Blagova’s story), choosing a profession (to become a shepherd or a vlogger, as in Islam Hanipаyev’s text), marriage (between people of different traditions, as in Ekaterina Manoylo’s story), and also encountering death, moving through sleep and wakefulness, winter and summer—overcoming these and other complex, sometimes turning-point, but ordinary events and phenomena becomes our grounding, our point of support, and a source of strength for living through time of catastrophe.
