Before the debate started, my wife said: listen, I’m not sitting in the front row. There’s bound to be either a fight or people will start throwing things. Me: come on, what fight?! Of course sit in the front row! Kholmogorov did not have a broken bottle neck. He first grabbed a glass of juice—apparently to splash it at Yashin. Then, on the way, he noticed the glass was empty, awkwardly shifted his grip, and broke it. I think he may even have cut himself. In terms of substance, these were actually very good debates. Both speakers spoke well, correctly, and to the point. Next time, we’ll ruthlessly throw out anyone from the audience who just gets drunk and yells, disturbing everyone else. I’ll write a detailed report later, including some thoughts on the Mortal Kombat that took place. Of what I’ve seen so far on LiveJournal, I liked the report by yatsutko. Photos, transcript, reports from the participants, the jury, and the audience, video—everything will be posted later on the debate website.
