москвичи и гости столицы (Starved of information about what was happening, Londoners and out-of-towners alike spent much of the day in near-silence, pacing the streets and pounding the call buttons on their mobile phones in the hope of making a connection – or just to stay busy. | Locals and invited guests danced, Muscovites and out-of-towners, the writer Johann from Kronstadt, a certain Vitya Kuftik from Rostov, apparently a stage director, with a purple spot all over his cheek, the most eminent representatives of the poetry section of Massolit danced – that is, Baboonov, Blasphemsky, Sweetkin, ... Alexander Demidov) |
