Or maybe also because the day before, I got a call from the Presidential Administration, and an old acquaintance of mine who now works there strongly advised me not to go to Triumfalnaya Square on the 31st. Using phrases like, "if you don’t want to be separated from your family and children for a long time". The advice was so insistent that I actually started wondering whether I should go after all, even though I hadn’t planned to. They really shouldn’t treat me like that. Maybe I’m still not easily scared, as I said on Larina’s show on Ekho (Echo of Moscow, a Russian radio station), but damn it, I’m curious. And until they finally do scare me properly, I’ll keep going wherever I want and doing whatever I feel like. ////// We’re now waiting for articles on the United Russia website saying that Tatyana Lazareva is a trashy slob, a terrible actress, and not funny at all. via oleg_kozyrev
