Why does the city send snow plowers to Brighton Beach all year?

Dandruff.

Why do Soviet emigres wear pants with cuffs?

To collect dandruff.

Did you hear about a Soviet emigre that got a job at a ski resort?

His only duty is to walk along the ski trails and shed dandruff.

How do Soviet emigres get rid of dandruff?

Grow bold.

	Does this man never get tied of his self-flaggelating
antiques?  Does he not realise that his clowning is an embarrassment
to hundreds of people on the net?  I am not trying to interfere with

The importance of notebooks, essay and Leniniana is that these
texts give us the scope of Erofeev's reading. We can try to find
some hidden quote in M-P, but the explicit quote in the notebook
from, say, Nabokov (which very often appears later in 
Erofeev's original work) is more important. Ditto for the
admitted importance of Rozanov for Erofeev: it is *explicit*,
while other connections are as they are - tenuous.

Well, my original thesis was that Erofeev does not belong to
some particular cultural context (due to the nihilism),
so by defending the importance of Russian literary influence
I rather destroy it. Nevertheless, I'd not base the 
existence of the unique true context (Roman) on some textual
coincidences with some Roman authors, while there
are much more Russian connotations. Basically, Erofeev's
background was Russian, though he managed to free himself
of it (following Rozanov). This explains why he is the
only writer with outstanding international popularity in 
the circle of his "conceptualist" peers (Evg. Popov etc.), 
who are no less talented, but more deeply rooted into context.

    It's not true. You are forgetting that Americans were on the frontiers

   Igor, what is then the reason of your posting? You have added
almost nothing to the information that R.S. was aware of. Can't help
citing Misha Verbitsky, whose observations would be relevant in this
case also:

   Now, the source is, of course, "Pesn' o veschem Olege", the very
end. By the way, the quote starts with 

         "Boitsy pominali minuvshie dni" , not anything else.

  Nope, I didn't wonder because I know why. Cowardly Estonians
were hiding behind Lithianian backs and never came even close
to such protests similar to those Lithianians did in Vilnius.
Estonians became very bold only after they were _granted_ their
"independence", which they barely deserve.

Let me answer with Vysotsky's own words. When talking about antisemites, he
said "Na ikh storone hot' i netu zakonov, podderzhka i entuziasm
millionov." ("On their side there may be no official laws but support and
enthusiasm of millions of people". )
In another song, he describes a great scientist, whose only 
"black spot" was his Jewishness. So, as you can see, Vysotsky did "whine"
about antisemitism in the USSR. However, unlike Rasputin and Co, who devote
their measely talents to whining about Russophobia, Vysotsky was a great
poet. He had bigger fish to fry. Thus, "whining' about antisemitism occupies
negligible room in his work.

>   b) many-many Russian people admired and liked him; this proves that

"On their side there may be no official laws but support  and enthusiasm of
millions of people", as the poet said himself.

Oh, yes - it's him. Edik Limonov, nee Savenko 8-), wears nowdays
ultr-r-r-r-r-ra r-r-r-radical nationalistic feathers. I feel sad 
about it like I feel sad about the transformation of V. Belov, 
Rasputin, et al.

In late 60th - early 70th Limonov wrote quite decent poetry. Some of
his prose - including "Podrostok Savenko" which IS authobiographical -
is (IMHO) also good.

I am answering M. Zeleny request to post
where I read Erofeev's notebooks. They
were printed in Russian periodics, like Literature
Newspaper (Literaturnaya Gazeta) and in special
issues dedicated to Russian avant-garde (I guess,
something like III Modernizatsia or Petropolis).
Unfortunately, most of my library is left in Russia, 
but Lit. Gazeta is received by Widener anyways,
and one of publications on notebooks has
appeared during this summer.

Erofeev's notebooks were supposed to be printed
by the Interbook publishing firm, but as this
firm is not in a good state financially I don't
think they have printed much. They rather publish
books on witchcraft (though they have also printed
Meyrink and Tolkien, and some of Erofeev's 
rarities). 

Misha.
