Capitalism yay!
"Idea! We sell everything we own and spend the money on smuggling 2 boxes of vodka from Russia!"
"And then what?"
"We sell them and use the cash to smuggle 4 boxes!"
"And then what?"
"We sell them and use the cash to smuggle 8 boxes!"
"And then what?"
"We get REALLY DRUNK!"
Let's have a black celebration to celebrate the fact that we've seen the back of another black day
Charkiv, newly minted Ukraine, 1993. A bunch of kinda-sorta-friends, if more out of boredom and necessity than actual friendship, 19 and without any sort of goal. Old enough to remember that they've lived in the Soviet Union, young enough to have no firm clue of what that's supposed to really mean. They drink. They try to make a quick buck in order to finance their drinking, and fail. Hilariously.
He doesn't open up, he's read too much Engels and can't process information in a normal way anymore, neo-communists are a screwed-up zen cult unto themselves; first there's no way in and then you can't get out
But the story, and everything they've been handed, suggests that they need a quest, a goal, a greater purpose. So they find one, arm themselves with all the pathos and alcohol they can find, and set off through a society of brand new nationalists, nostalgic old socialists, drug dealers and disillusioned cops just looking to beat someone up. It's all very Guy Ritchie, really. Except funnier, and sadder.
There are no emergency brakes on this train
Zhadan - either the author or the narrator, possibly both, I'm not sure - takes you on a hell of a darkly comic ride, drunk and stoned and insomniac in a way that would make a young Denis Johnson weep blood, hallucinating between moments of bleary clarity. He turns on the radio and hears a DJ telling the story of the titular band, a story where absolutely every single fact is 100% wrong, forced to fit into an old narrative that no longer has any guiding principle. He finds, or thinks he finds, a bunch of old pamphlets directed at schoolchildren, telling them how to build bombs in the name of glorious revolution. He passes monuments dedicated to those who died for The Cause. He drinks.
"...because to hell with it all; to hell with cash, to hell with the command economy, to hell with investors, to hell with the govenment" - he's starting to work up steam now - "to hell with the state, to hell with multinational corporations, to hell with corporate mergers, to hell with spheres of influence, to hell with the eastward expansion of the market."
"To hell with world peace," Vasia mumbles.
"Absolutely."
2014. . Serhiy Zhadan has been beaten up by Russian nationalists after refusing to kiss a flag. And so it goes.
Let's play master and servant.

Ukraina Trainspotting.
November 7, 2021
labai gera knyga, ir d臈l keli懦 prie啪as膷i懦. vis懦 pirma, skaitant 寞sp奴d啪iai kinta, ir kinta labai savitai: i拧 prad啪i懦 atrod臈 pretenzinga, nuobodu (ir v臈l tie 90s, jau u啪knis臋 juodai, v臈l tas pasti拧as, s膮mon臈s srautas etc.), po to pasakotojo 啪adano ir jo draug懦 nuotykiai 寞trauk臈, tapo juokinga, pabaigoje jau visai nebejuokinga, tik labai li奴dna, bet pati pati pabaiga viltinga, nors viltinga visi拧kai nesentimentaliai. 膷ia tas atvejis, kai viltis suteikiama jos tarsi nesuteikiant - viltis gl奴di tame, kad viskas, kas vyksta, taip ir turi vykti. gera knyga dar ir d臈l to, kad 90s 膷ia yra tiesiog gyvenamasis laikas. k奴rinys ra拧ytas 2000 prad啪ioje, tod臈l n臈ra jokios nostalgijos, jokio seil臈jimosi d臈l visoki懦 daik膷iuk懦, r奴beli懦, kramto拧ki懦 - tai tik realijos, bet apskritai j懦 nedaug. o geriausia tai, kad nors pagrindiniai persona啪ai - vaikinai, ma啪daug devyniolikme膷iai ka啪kokiame skvote charkove gyvenantys pankai - n臈ra jokio seksistinio 拧lam拧to, jokio melancholi拧ko ma膷izmo (parulskis), marozi拧kumo (拧apoka), bajeri懦 apie u啪lau啪tas panas ir apskritai nevilt寞 varan膷i懦 bandym懦 ka啪k膮 u啪lau啪ti, verk拧lenim懦 apie visoki膮 ten vyri拧k膮 garb臋, n臈ra baim臈s pasirodyti menkesniu ir i拧 to kylan膷io noro 啪eminti kitus, 啪od啪iu, n臈ra vis懦 t懦 dalyk懦, persmelkusi懦 lietuvi拧k膮 90s literat奴r膮 nuo parulskio "trij懦 sekund啪i懦" iki kmitos "kronik懦" (nuosaikusis variantas) iki 拧apokos "pu拧ies". o dar kai pagalvoji, kad tekstas ra拧ytas pana拧iu metu kaip parulskio "trys sekund臈s" - na, mentaliniai skirtumai akivaizd奴s, atrodo, lietuviai jau gimsta diedais... o tie vaikinai i拧 charkovo - tiesiog jauni, pasimet臋 啪mon臈s, judantys ka啪kur ir neai拧ku, kaip ir kur jie baigs, bet akivaizdu, kad ne died懦 pasaulyje - tai romane simbolizuoja visi拧kai nutr奴k臋 ry拧iai su sen膮ja karta, su t臈vais ir ypa膷 su T臈vu. tie ry拧iai taip labai nutr奴k臋, kad neb臈ra nei mai拧to, nei pyk膷io, nei pagie啪os, nei graudulio - jauni 啪mon臈s yra kitokie, ir gyvena kitaip. ta拧kas. labai asmeninis vertinimo kriterijus, bet jei skaitau vyro para拧yt膮 pirmo asmens pasakojim膮 ir pamir拧tu, kad pasakotojas vyras, tai akivaizdu - pasiektas universalus, bendra啪mogi拧kas patirties lygmuo, o 拧is lygmuo yra geros literat奴ros 啪enklas (ar bent vienas i拧 啪enkl懦 - bet labai labai svarbus).

I have quite a few friends, you can't really call us a group, we're more a kind of friendly collection of conmen out to sucker every recruiter and employer, we live in several adjoining rooms on the same floor, sleep wherever there's room, I don't even know everyone, there's only one real friend here- Vasia the Communist- the rest are more or less transients, although they're also our friends, they appear and disappear, sometimes there can be up to ten of them on our floor, at other times I wander around the corridors by myself for days, climb onto the roof and look around...I was recently reminded that I had this book, when a friend sent me an article explaining why Depeche Mode was so popular in eastern Europe around the time of perestroika. Well, the article tried to explain it, anyway. When you get down to it, though, these things are always a little mysterious. Sure life was hard in the Soviet bloc and people responded to cathartic music, but why wasn't there the same craze around, say, Joy Division or The Cure? People are people, so why should it be...that Soviets should listen to Depeche Mode so devotedly?
But I digress. Ukrainian author Serhiy Zhadan's 2004 novel isn't really about Depeche Mode, except maybe in spirit. It's a hang-out novel about a few buddies in post-Soviet Kharkiv who are honestly not up to much of anything except trying to make a bit of extra money buying cheap vodka across the Russian border in Belgorod and then selling it back in Kharkiv (鈥渨ith a couple of nights at Kharkiv's South Station you could sell anything, even your soul鈥�); getting beaten up by the militsiya; and going to a soccer game or two. Oh, and they have to find their pal Carburetor, whose stepfather has apparently just shot himself, but that becomes lower and lower of a priority as the story moves along, primarily because they forget about it. Some have compared this novel to Trainspotting, but Depeche Mode is nowhere near as bleak. These guys are not heroin-addicts or even gopniks really, and they don't seem particularly doomed but more like at the beginning of a long journey, as long at least as it takes a snail to crawl from one side of a train platform to the other. I was instead reminded of Moscow to the End of the Line by Venedikt Yerofeyev, because of Zhadan's sense of humor, the frenetic pace and insouciance of his language, the proliferation of fantasies, the plot device of a quest that fades away and becomes meaningless, and also because of a playful circularity to the whole story, an underlying suggestion that public transport isn't taking us where we think it is. That may or may not be a metaphor.
Some readers might wonder if this novel will teach them anything about Ukraine. Maybe. But I wouldn't read it with that expectation. It does capture a moment of significant societal change, and sure the characters are generally kind of cynical about politics and the prospects of adult life, but so are young people in every country (and for most of us it only gets worse). And in any case I'd say that's not really what this book is about. It's more a fairly universal portrait of life at a certain age and at a certain pace, when conversations are games of telephone that can leave you with the impression that Marx dropped acid on the Reeperbahn or that the lead singer of Depeche Mode is Irish and was inspired by his father's struggle for freedom as a member of the IRA.
You do get a real sense of Kharkiv- Ukraine's second-largest city, a university town that people I knew in Kyiv always spoke of fondly- and so you can't read this novel today, in 2022, without visualizing the destruction the city has endured these past few months. Or wondering what Zhadan's characters would be doing right this moment. But I guess I might have the closest thing to an answer to that question, only because I started following Zhadan's account on Facebook, where he's been posting photos and updates from Kharkiv. The war isn't over by a long shot, but judging from his updates they are nevertheless making their way back to some semblance of normalcy there. Anyway, I thought it might not be out of line if I took the liberty of copy & pasting one of his recent reflections below:
In the morning, the city is completely quiet, cloudy, except bird singing nothing to hear. In the old yards puddles after the rains, palisadniks full of flowers.
On the waterfront fishermen stand over the river, it looks like they're good just standing together, being silent.
Empty school yards overgrown with grass.
It's getting closer to lunch, more passers-by. But they're not too quick anyway - Sunday, some lazy tenderness is caught in the movements. Cyclists on the road are concentrated - it is noticeable that they are not just riding, but going on business - they are carrying something, they are going somewhere.
In the central quarters, beaten shops with broken windows somehow immediately remind me of the 90s. In general, this war is largely about an attempt to stop time, slow it down, suddenly it turns out that we are really trying to force a return to the past, from which we so painfully (but quite successfully, to say) managed to break out.
Kharkiv in all this is slowly coming to life, regaining its natural liveliness and dynamics. It's like a person works out their arm after a fracture. The hand, thank God, intact, will function, a person has a lot of work ahead, but still - a waste of time, a waste of nerves, a waste of lost potential. But the main thing is not this - the main thing is that the hands-legs are intact, and the work does not scare anyone.
The sun came out, in general it became transparent in summer. Our flags are flying over the city.

Trainspotting auf Ukrainisch
April 12, 2016
The more I think about this book, the more I like it. I picked it up because the opening pages I read sounded so iconically Ukrainian that it made me miss living there. The rest of the book did not dissapoint. On the surface, this is a story of a group of Ukrainian teens in the early 90's living alone and drinking their way through life. Beyond that is a wonderfully (if tragically) rendered portrait of a nation in crisis following the Soviet Union.
The narrative presents as a rotation of the circular, meaningless actions of the friends in their attempts to survive. For example, they steal 3 bottles of congniac only to have the bottles stolen from them. They work an elaborate scheme to buy cheap vodka, sell it back at inflated prices, and use the money to buy more vodka.
My favorite parts of this book were Zhadan's breaks into more philosophical musings (usually presented under a cloud of drugs and alcohol) about the state of his country and the lives they all live. It is as if he wants to show warmth to something, to feel comforted by some small morsel he finds, so he keeps flipping over rocks, searching, unable to break himself out of his own well-carved rut.
"I'm not ashamed of my acts although there were no acts as such, there was only a moving forward through tight hard air, an effort to squeeze forward through it, to squeeze forward a bit more, a few more millimeters, without any goal, without any desire, without any doubt, without any faith in success."

Kes pole veel seda raamatut lugenud, siis m玫ni s玫na tutvustuseks. Tegevuspaik on 90ndate Ukraina linn Harkiv. Kirjeldatakse kolme noore mehe elust paari p盲eva. Tegelikult tuleb lisaks neile kolmele - minajutustajale, Kommunisti-Vasjale ja Koer Pavlovile - veel mitmeid v盲rvikaid tegelasi. Ma ei saa 枚elda, et tegelased oleks mulle eriti s眉mpaatsed olnud, kuna peamiselt tegelesid nad joomise ja mingite ainete tarbimisega. Samas oli raamat humoorikas ja v盲hemalt mulle tuli silme ette Harkiv ja tolleaegne eluolu. Eks sarnane elu oli ka meil siin Eestis, ehkki vast m玫nev玫rra varem. N盲iteks meenus mulle, kuidas isegi sattusin kunagi Ameerika usumehe jutlusele, kuigi oma arust l盲ksime T玫nis M盲e kontserdile. Johnson-ja-Johnsoni jutluse t玫lge oli raamatu 眉ks v盲rvikamaid kohti, mis oli t玫eliselt naljakas. K眉llap selliseid t玫lkijaid oli ka meil, sest 90ndatel ei osatud veel nii h盲sti inglise keelt.
Raamatu p玫hjal ei tasu muidugi ukrainlaste kohta j盲reldusi teha. Eks selliseid noori on ju igal pool. Siiski tasub raamat pihku pista noortele meestele, kellele meeldib ka Palahniuki "Kaklusklubi".
Loodan s眉damest, et see jube s玫da saab varsti l盲bi ja et tavap盲rane elu taastub nin Vasjad, Koer Pavlovid, Karboraatorid, Marusjad ja teised saavad naasta oma igap盲evase elu juurde.

Kohutavalt maniakaalne raamat. Kogu aeg on k玫ik heeblid p玫hjas - inimesed on t盲is igasugust kraami ja viivad ellu igasuguseid ideid, mis p盲he tulevad. Vahel lihtsalt kirjeldavad, mis toimub v玫i mis p盲he kargab, ja see on kah maniakaalne. Veenvalt.
Ja siis j盲rsku on paaril korral vaikus ja 4-5 rida midagi t盲iesti l眉眉rilist ja m玫tlikku ja t盲pset.
Et siis kohe j盲lle sama hooga uuesti valu anda ja edasi panna.

Mida raamatut. Ida-Euroopa "Trainspotting", Ukraina Bukowski, puhas koleeriline rock'n'roll. Keskmes kolme noore s玫bra seiklused 1993. aasta Harkivis, kus otsitakse pealtn盲ha kadunud neljandat kamraadi. Tegemist on siiski suuresti n盲itega, kuidas kirjutada ilma selge loo, loogika ja suunata, aga ajastu- ja meeleseisundipildina v玫rratult. Sarnaste alka拧拧ide eluviisi on kujutatud k眉llalt mujalgi, kuid 沤adani ladus, elur玫玫mus ja hinnangutevaba stiil annab toimuvale ainulaadselt unen盲olise voo. Mitu proloogi ja mitu epiloogi, kellaajalised dateeringud, sage kirjavahem盲rkide puudumine, l盲biv eneseirooniline l玫玫p. L玫hkeainete manuaali t盲ismahus tr眉kk, koormateviisi kanepit ja kangemaid drooge, veel rohkem alkoholi, kirjud tegelased ja postsovjetliku karuperse tr枚枚stitus. Korraga s眉gavalt masendav ja h眉steeriliselt vaimukas lugemine. Prosto super. 4.5/5

Tato pas谩啪 z p谩sma vyprav臎膷e mi p艡ipad谩 b媒t v媒sti啪n谩 pro celkov媒 n谩boj knihy, s t铆m paradoxem, 啪e d臎j je r谩mov谩n c铆lem, kter媒 se zd谩 b媒t vzhledem k nalad臎n铆 煤膷astn铆k暖 putov谩n铆 celkem ambici贸zn铆. Hled谩n铆 "ztracen茅ho kamar谩da" sice p艡edstavuje ur膷it媒 sty膷n媒 bod pro p暖soben铆 specifick茅 skupinky charkovsk媒ch pozdn铆ch n谩ctilet媒ch, motivace v拧ak nen铆 vylo啪en臎 intenzivn铆, 膷emu啪 odpov铆d谩 i d臎jov谩 struktura, kter谩 je roz艡ed臎na v拧铆m mo啪n媒m. Postavy se motaj铆 v polokrachl媒ch tov谩rn谩ch, p艡铆m臎stsk媒ch vlakov媒ch spoj铆ch a na fotbalov媒ch stadionech, na nich啪 jde o v拧echno, jen ne o fotbal; potk谩vaj铆 provin膷n铆 dialektiky, vysoce postaven茅 d铆vky se z谩jmem v n铆zk媒ch patrech, st艡edov臎k茅 dealery a d臎ti p艡e啪铆vaj铆c铆 ve vlac铆ch. Rok 1993, p艡i拧el nov媒 re啪im a z暖staly star茅, ji啪 o拧unt臎l茅 vesty. Je to trochu drsn茅 a trochu l谩啪o pl谩啪o, i mohutn茅 obt铆啪e jako by nakonec byly p艡ekon谩ny ur膷it媒m lok谩ln铆m know-how, p艡铆padn臎 lhostejnost铆.

Na kone膷n茅 bychom r谩di na拧li aspo艌 n臎jakou lavi膷ku, kde by se dalo p艡e膷kat p谩r hodin do p艡铆拧t铆ho vlaku, jen啪e se tu kone膷n臎 objev铆 ti kluci, co se vrac铆 z vojny, a taky houba艡i. V拧echny lavice v 膷ek谩rn臎 jsou obsazeny n臎jak媒mi podez艡el媒mi existencemi. Vyjdeme proto na jedin茅 zdej拧铆 n谩stupi拧t臎, kter茅 n谩dra啪n铆 tlampa膷e z n臎jak茅 d暖vodu pateticky ozna膷uj铆 za prvn铆, jako by tu snad n臎kde bylo i druh茅.

Stoup谩me po kovov媒ch schodech a prohl铆啪铆me si n谩dra啪铆, nekone膷n谩 rozv臎tven铆 kolejnic, n谩kladn铆 vag贸ny t铆sn铆c铆 se jeden vedle druh茅ho, cisterny, 拧t臎rk, semafory, stromy, mlhu, n谩dra啪n铆 budovy, v拧echno mo啪n茅, nem谩me se o 膷em bavit, tak啪e tam sed铆me obklopeni mlhou a mraky, pomalu pijeme studenou miner谩lku a prohl铆啪铆me si v拧echnu tu zmrza膷enou 啪elezni膷n铆 infrastrukturu.
