And immediately we see Vladimir Vysotsky in front of us in the image of Shakespeare's Hamlet... Eternal questions. Questions that a person asks God. I managed to extract quite a few poems containing similar passionate questioning from my first 25 “Belogorsk Cycles” (2010 – 2017). But who's asking? Reason - no one else - is the only part of our consciousness endowed with curiosity and language. The same Pure Reason that Kant wrote about. So... Ask away! But don't be surprised if the answers make you sad. Remember Ecclesiastes. On the cover - Sergei Salnikov in the image of N.N. (still from the film "Fence").
