«Russian Journal» is a community of authors with their personal blogs. This book is given entirely to one of them – Oleg Kashin, the most volatile of them all, faithfully reporting only what he has witnessed himself. A lively writer and tenacious observer who can be found at all sorts of rallies, demonstrations, flash-mobs, pickets and street-fights in Moscow, Kashin is the type of American reporter – rarely found in modern Russia – a meticulous and ambitious chronicler who regards «events» and «facts» as more important than loud political slogans. The issue of what is to be considered an acceptable price of a true success (in its widest of meanings) is central to Kashin’s texts.
