A controversial but utterly brilliant article

The poet on the contract.
Novodvorskaya about Evgeny Yevtushenko



Yevgeny Yevtushenko - a good man, though very vain, he made the country a lot of good in the worst years, and left us only in 1991, when the sixties and the Socialists with a human face has lost its world- historical significance and their place in the ranks stood Westerners and marketeers, and the anti-Soviet liberals.

Yevtushenko talked about a lot of bad, to the point that he was a KGB agent. No, it was not, this is a slander on the inexperience. He was brave to desperation, but went through the world, lived loudly and widely received (knocked bluff) luxury apartment in a house on the waterfront (not the one on the other so), even Nixon took it there. But the dirty tricks he did and does for these benefits are not paid. Nothing that would be hypocrisy, cruelty, consent to the arrest of fellow craft. Even the dissidents he sacrificed his old shirts, and they were a little worn and well-dressed. And if the poet Yevtushenko ask for cultural or rich Russians roll or dumpling, it is my request: to anoint and even caviar. Deserved.
