I thought of what Haneen used to say about young men striding through the streets after someone was martyred to make sure the cafés stayed shut in the mourning. Resilience was not the same as detachment.

specialists on scientific foresight, who had already been nicknamed foreseers, told His Brightest Futurity about their work. They reported to the chairman that never before had their research taken on such a creative nature. That was the unvarnished truth. #AHistoryOfTheIsland #Vodolazkin23

a monument was raised in front of the Palace, honoring the uprising’s victims. Mikhei’s image was immortalized in bronze. The hero who departed prematurely was chiseled in a double-breasted suit, something he did not wear in life. #AHistoryOfTheIsland #Vodolazkin23

A short time later, the exchange rate for the Kalyan and the franc was a thousand, though not in favor of the Kalyan. Over the course of the year, the rate reached & salaries on the island were calculated in the millions....call our state The Island of Millionaires #Vodolazkin23

Everything we had occasion to experience in those years- the establishment of a new religion, the division between North and South- looked like an old film negative. Black had become white and vice versa. Unreal had become real.
