      Важная подробность в том, что Надю - которая недавно сильно болела - наказали за попытку без сопровождения пройти в медицинскую часть.

    1. Alix and Enak have been strong gay role models for generations of European gay boys, says an American media expert who has lived in Paris and who is well acquainted with the work of Jacques Martin. Martin created "Alix" in 1948 and drew the... comic books for 50 years until his eyesight failed in 1998 ... the comic books are still being produced by Rafeal Morales.

      When Jacques Martin died in 2010, American gay blogster extraordinaire William V. Madison wrote this tribute to Jacques Martin ... and to Alix:

      "There was nothing inappropriate about the nudity. In almost every one of their adventures, Alix and Enak find themselves in a hot climate, in cultures where clothing was scant and nudity unexceptional — and Martin researched his work meticulously. As he observed, it would be ludicrous to depict Alix and Enak covering up their privates in a Roman bath (though some editors have tinkered with the drawings to just that purpose).

      "So it’s only reasonable that Alix and Enak’s host, frequently a kindly older gentleman such as Julius Caesar (Alix’s mentor), will say, 'Boys, you must be tired after your long journey; why not slip out of those revealing tunics and take a bath with me?'

      "As Martin’s research revealed, only Judeo-Christian cultures frowned on certain close relationships between men. And torture was the primary tool of governance in every ancient state, most often administered by burly men in leather.

      "So, naturally, nobody in the books minds that Alix and Enak are such inseparable companions, and it’s only reasonable that they so often find themselves tied up and flogged.

      "But no matter how reasonable and accurate, these elements of the books, when combined with the fierce devotion the young men felt for each other, gave rise to the widespread belief that Alix and Enak aren’t merely the Jonny Quest and Hadji of the ancient world (who just happen to share a tent, and all that), but archetypal gay lovers.

      "Married with children, Martin repeatedly either ducked the question or announced, diplomatically, that his readers were free to bring to the stories their own interpretations — and their own fantasies, straight or gay. For his part, he never wrote or drew a love scene for Alix and Enak. (He sometimes did throw in a scantily clad slave girl or princess, whom Alix inevitably and heroically resisted.)

      "Martin’s achievements as a spinner of great yarns, as a founder of historical graphic fiction, and as one of the greats of the “Ligne Claire” school of drawing are beyond dispute, and they’re likely to be discussed at length in the tributes to him that will appear throughout Europe in the coming days. Others may even confirm what I will tell you: that, no matter his demurrals or his real intention, Jacques Martin gave substance and dignity to the dreams of lonely boys for more than half a century.

      "Gayer than we were happy, we yearned to find a companion in our own adventures, another handsome youth with a noble heart. A fearless rescuer who would share our passions. A hero and friend. We looked in every kind of book for a model, a representation of the couple we wanted to be. Too often, we came up short; too often, we still do.

      "Jacques Martin provided us with the models we sought."

    1. "Второй - пошел". Степан Зимин в Басманном суде. Следствие просит продлить его арест до 8 июня. По их версии Степан на Болотной участвовал в массовых беспорядках и в точно неустановленное время, реализуя свой преступный умысел, прицельно бросил не менее 3 раз асфальт в полицейских, попав однажды в кисть руки и причинив физическую боль.

    1. Сегодня в Басманном суде - марафон по продлению ареста "болотникам", в суд приведут четверых. Первый - Андрей Барабанов. Встречавшие его в коридоре друзья говорят - "выглядит неплохо, не похудел совсем". Андрей вполне бодр и весел.

      Апдейт: Арест продлен до 28 мая.

    1. Адвокат - следователю: "Чем обосновываются ваши предположения, что Барабанов на свободе может влиять на свидетелей, уничтожать вещдоки, скрываться и продолжить преступную деятельность? Ведь доказать это требуют законы РФ и постановления Евр...осуда!". Следователь Марукян: "Все уже написано там, я не желаю отвечать больше. И вообще, мы не рассматривпем дело по существу, а всего лишь - продление ареста"

      Апдейт: Арест продлен до 28 мая.

    1. Дорогие питерские френды!

      На выходе из станции м. Политехническая, почти каждый день, стоит бабушка-поэт, 81 год, Галина Усова, и продает книги со своими стихами и книги известных зарубежных авторов со своим переводом (Байрон,Киплинг,Лоусо...н,Вальтер Скотт и т.д.). Давайте вместе поможем бабушке и купим у нее книгу по стоимости двух бутылок пива, а она, зато сможет заплатить за коммуналку и, сходив в магазин, сядет писать новые отличные стихи, а не будет думать о том, как купить хлеб.
      P.S. кстати, еще она участник Союза писателей СССР.

      На закате, на закате
      Серо-сизые тона,
      И луна луча не тратит,
      Небо скрыла пелена.

      Всюду серо, всюду сыро,
      Всё в терзаниях немых,
      И несовершенство мира
      Скрыто в линиях прямых.

      Город стынет, город стонет,
      Всё сверкает, словно лак,
      А проклятые ладони
      Не согреются никак…

      Вот приду в тепло, оттаю,
      Для всего найду слова…
      Хорошо, что я мечтаю:
      Это значит – я жива!

      Галина Усова

      Сделайте, пожалуйста, перепост!!!
      Спасибо!
