A Zombial subculture on the Kosti-NF. A story.
Mrs. Quicktalker came home and dialed Mr. Wintertund's phone number:
- Did you get home well? How are you feeling yourself?
- I'm eating hot semolina porridge with milk! I am warmed up!
- What should we do with Gombius? He is a creative person. He has proven himself well.
- Yes, it turned out somehow well. People were engaged in the Napoleonic studies. They wrote scientific papers in Russian and French. They worked in the French archives. De facto professor even taught at one of the French higher education institutions. He gave lectures in French. A method of long-term stress! His assistantess passed away to another world. De facto professor is in the most depressing position. And everything is covered up. No one is to blame. No one hacked the email. No one wrote unpleasant letters. No one bullied, No one organized baiting . No one made inscriptions in the entrance. No one threw rats up to the door. Good!
- So Gombius needs to be taken care of. He doesn't mention these people or this tragedy in any way. He observes the rule of silence.
- He is a creative person. He does not want to turning somersaults in our radio broadcasts: nor on general topics, not on political ones. So we need to take himit to a new level.
- Yes! To a new level! But what a level?
- He is a creative person. And he's thinking about global things! He is something of a thinker. A radio thinker.
- About which topics he's thinking about?
- He read Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago, and he came to important conclusions.
- To what conclusions?
- It doesn't matter. It is important that he reads large literary works. And he evaluates them. That is, he is a major literary and cultural figure.
- And what kind of literary works does he have? I've only heard his jokes. Nonsense, but some of them sound let silly, but funny, - Mrs. Quicktalker said.
- Well, Why you ask: what kind of literary works does he have? - Mr. Wintertund was surprised. - We have literary factories. Numerous. Zimninskaya, the Green Leaf Literary Factory...
- All the seats are occupied there.
- And the Camp Literary Factory? If he speaks out about Solzhenitsyn, then he can be attached to the Camp Factory.
- Many books have already been written about Solzhenitsyn, - Mrs. Quicktalker noted with disappointment.
- Yes, he will write a book not about Solzhenitsyn, but about Shalamov [Varlam Tikhonovich Shalamov (1907 - 1982)].
- About Shalamov?
- Of course. There is a special website about Shalamov. Besides, there are unpublished archival materials. The biography of Shalamov will be published in the book series "The Ways of Talented Figures".
- This is very good! Gombius is a serious cultural figure. The author of a big book. Is he a future rector of the Writers' Institute?
- No! There is a rector there. As long as he doesn't make a serious mistake, no one will take him off. He is weak, a little, of course. But who is not weak? And Gombius can be appointed vice-rector of the Writers' Institute on problems of Zombial Literature. A serious cultural figure. The author of a weighty literary biography of a famous writer. He has a system of views on modern literature - he promotes a Zombial subculture. We will use him as a radio-observer on processes in a cultural sphere. If he will try hard, he will get the title (honorable rank) of "Uploaded". Or even of a "Pepperian" one.
- And Frol Gitis?
- Frol is weak. If he had explicitly declared himself as the leader of a sexual subculture, it would have been a different matter. And he is rubbing near some elderly teacheresses, disguises himself. He is weak, a little. He may take an example from the founder of a Magazine for men. He lived with dignity, with pleasure, and he died with dignity. Frol is a bit weak. But who is not weak?
- So? What? Gombius is the leader of the Zombial Subculture?
- And why not? You need to try. We will look at the results. Come on, take action! I'm going to finish the porridge until it's completely cooled down.
- Bon appetit!
- Have a nice day! Get to work.
