Nil Support Team

Nil Support Team

Jeļena Ušakova heads the youth organisation "Нам По Пути", which was founded in 2006, but at some point (in 2009?) this organisation became the "Nil support team". Perhaps out of love for her husband, perhaps out of respect for the sponsors who appeared along with it. This organisation publishes a newspaper in Russian, "При[ш]кольная".

Ask.fm and Teen Suicides, or Which Side Are You On?

Ask.fm and Teen Suicides, or Which Side Are You On?

The mission of social networks is to supplement real life, preserving and transferring communication and socialisation opportunities to the virtual environment. In its early days, the virtual environment offered the possibility of maintaining a virtual "self" image, publicly displaying only those qualities that the owner of that image desires.

Premiere of Short Film LOW PROFILE at Club NABAKLAB

Premiere of Short Film LOW PROFILE at Club NABAKLAB

Without doubt, LOW PROFILE is a mood film. The plot or the thought contained in it might still be debated, but in my view it was an excellent idea to include in the film the poetry of Gatis Zotovs, which is truly enjoyable. In any case it is a pleasure to see fellow people who are doing, creating and telling the story of their neighbourhood, their environment, their city, their country.

Friday Observation. Troy

Friday Observation. Troy

Nowadays leaders do not need to inspire and persuade the people, do not need to be loved by the people. True, they need to be shrewd enough to attract financial resources, because as you can see, the devil himself dances for money, not to mention PR campaigns and international organisations. One way or another, Darwin's theory's requirement regarding resourcefulness must be met.

Friday Observation. Eco

Friday Observation. Eco

It was summer. The local natives, with good intentions, arranged the most ecological food possible for the gentleman from distant Germany: sourced farm milk and butter, dug up potatoes from the garden. "What is this?" - came a question full of despair, after the first bite.
