  You say that Prigov - a new Dante. Can you elaborate what you mean?

                           This metaphor is not an exaggeration. Dante was the last poet of the Middle Ages and the first poet of modern times. Likewise, Prigov. He described the whole of Soviet civilization, pozdnevarvarsky universe as described by Dante's own world late Middle Ages. In letters Prigov there are so many interesting comments that we live in the illusion that we are heirs to the great Russian culture, in fact, we are similar to those barbarians who live in the ruins of the ancient world and build in their huts fragments of statues and columns. According to him, we live in anticipation of the new high culture, which is born from experience and rethink its "dark" past. He wrote this in the early 80's, but it sounds very modern now.
Dante put Florence at the center of his universe, Prigov made Moscow the core of its catastrophic universe. Dante created his grandiose "Divine Comedy" as an attempt to create a new model of the world, Prigov all his diverse creative considered as a single theological project as tools and construction material to create a new universe. Prigov, like Dante, created a language of modern times. Reworked Soviet newspeak, this Vulgate, he actually made it the core of a new literary language.

Some literature to read is really difficult without some training. Requires a complex literature and intellectual effort, it's not ads in the newspaper. But this also applies to music perception, such as symphony, or avant-garde (understand, perceive ditties easier), as well as and the difficult things in the fine arts.
