Tonight on Solovyov's program (host Vladimir Solovyov), Zakhar Prilepin prilepin will be up against writer Sergei Minaev. The topic, roughly speaking, is rich versus poor. It stems from Prilepin's well-known exchange of letters with Aven. Zakhar invited me to be his second, but at the last moment NTV banned me. Ah, to hell with them. So, as I understand it, the seconds will be Seryoga Shargunov and Mitya Olshansky. I hope they help Zakhar wipe the floor with Minaev and his eternal line: "We're successful and rich, while you lot are just cattle—work harder and don't envy the oligarchs; they've earned their beautiful life." I'm urging everyone to watch and vote in support of Prilepin. It airs this evening in European Russia, and in the Russian Far East it seems to be coming on about now.
