Fedya Otroshchenko, editor of Demagog, talked to poet, critic and sociologist of literature Eugenia Vezhlyan, who is on the expert council of the independent Dar Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I should make a little preface: this interview was recorded in mid-February, when the Berlin Book Fair hadn't even been officially announced yet, when not much time had passed since the scandal surrounding Ilichevsky's novel October 7 that it was still in the air. But it seems that Zhenya was talking about some important processes that have only intensified since then; it's just that the examples may change from month to month, but the core remains. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
