#peredelkino #literature #lectures A lecture by journalist, writer and founder of the Polka project Yuri Saprykin is dedicated to how the diary genre has changed from Antiquity to the present day. It has been a long journey from summing up life to an intimate conversation with oneself. Why is a diary like a message in a bottle to tomorrow's self? What do we write about when we write about ourselves? However, the conversation soon turned to what is happening to us now. How diaries and memoirs can help us, and why hundreds of young people who rushed to look for an unfortunate cat by the railroad tracks give us hope that not all is lost. 0:00 Intro 0:12 What do we write diaries about?
