“Garik Osipov manages to contain an entire era in a small episode - with its slightly exotic aroma, which only people who have placed themselves above time can taste.” Jalouse “Garik Osipov pushed the boundaries of the banal, showed how to avoid the temptation to turn self-sufficiency into bad taste.” Playboy “Count Khortitsa demonstrates the most correct idea in life - total and irrevocable egoism in any external conditions.” OM “The pathos of Garik Osipov’s texts is as unpathetic as he himself. It seems that a little more - and the author will falsify, fall into false significance. But that’s why he’s a dandy, to walk on the razor’s edge while listening to Elvis Presley and Valery Obodzinsky.” GQ"The bad can be best when bad is all you got." Charlie Manson (from a letter to Osipov dated March 13, 2003)
