Women’s dress style in Moscow: the couture of controlled
exposure.
If women are NOT the better half – God help us!
The trivialization of the day.
Consumerussia.
Someone could do an essay on the history of “looks” in
people’s eyes in the past 20-30 years, using photos, films, memories, etc., and
tell much about the changes in Russian psychology.
(On a Russian national holiday:) Thousands out walking, but most clearly now knowing whereto
or whyfore.
Actually, we should rename days at work off days, and days
off from work, on days!
If man is indeed a being of two worlds, no wonder he is
confused.
Why be worried about a rumored missing God, when there are
so many entertaining distractions. (Sermon theme in Consumption Cathedral.)
Obviously, communism was replaced by the consumerism it
rejected.
The fact is that most people are asleep in the culture and
society in which they exist. They are unreflective, and even unconscious of
this -- and their status as humans sub
specie aeternitatis eve less.
The disenchantment of monsters and demons.
The death of God...but also of the death of devil, angels, demons,
even monsters. It was truly a historic massacre.
Can there be a clothing style so bad no one would wear it?
In the Soviet time people needed God to give meaning to
their closed lives. Now there are so many other things
to do.
The reality or illusion of “God” seems quite irrelevant to
most Moscovites now, and who needs any damned eternal questions?!
Walking mostly unguarded in public, rich, why does no one
try to rob me of my gold in ideas and insights?
That woman’s taste in dress is so bad I wish her face didn’t
indicate it was not done as a stylish antistyle.
If the word “God” refers to nothing, and every single place
on which it is written were to be a hole, it would be as if there had been a great plague of book
worms.
