Vanya is an incredible writer. It is foreign to my thinking that a brilliant novel such as his “Deleted Scenes…”would be against the law in Russia or anywhere else for that matter. Freedom of speech should never be taken for granted by those of us who are geographically blessed.
This was so so so good. Clear, helpful, true. I never really considered how damaging and restrictive vague laws can be. A belated aha moment for me, because of you.
It’s one example vs thousands. Also it’s quite obvious that I am not a Litvinenko type figure and wouldn’t be the first target of an operation of that kind.

Thank you very much, Jeanne!
I love that you have fun and post meme’s and clown, and just happen to be a deep thinker, writer, experienced expat of such a turbulent nation.
I’m happy that we are in each other’s orbits.
much appreciated sir, sending a firm virtual handshake. I hope my deep thinking attacks don't dilute my innermost essence.
Nah. Good balance. It’s good to have something like comedy when it’s time to disengage from deep thinking.
I heartily recommend Vanya’s book to everyone!
Cheers! Thank you for the review sir
It's a heartfelt, modest and fully alive piece, Vanya. Like so much of what you write. The Shishkin quote is brilliant. I didn't know it.
Thank you very much for your kind words! I was quite nervous when hitting "publish".
Just bought the book on Kindle. Looking forward to reading it!
Thank you David, please enjoy! Cheers
I can hardly wait to read it.
🫡 Please enjoy the read!

Thank you thank you thank you! Glad it worked as intended!
Safe in the UK? What about Litvinenko?
It’s one example vs thousands. Also it’s quite obvious that I am not a Litvinenko type figure and wouldn’t be the first target of an operation of that kind.
