chich8 has announced that he is ready to contribute the following amounts to the contest prize fund: 2nd place — 50,000 rubles 1st place — 150,000 rubles So now: the prize fund is guaranteed twice over — by me and by Chichvarkin. we can now confidently say that the campaign against the Party of Crooks and Thieves is being financed from abroad by fugitive rich people. Zhenya Chichvarkin is living up to his magazine’s subtitle: O*sp’s nest of the White émigrés Yesterday, about an hour after E.C. said he would finance the prize fund, another person wrote to me (a complete stranger) — he was also ready to finance the contest, while revealing his name. So we may be able to come up with something else along these lines. We’re eagerly awaiting the contestants.
