People compete in the discipline "whose lie is truer"

A lie is a powerful tool, you can achieve anything with it. But the truth is also powerful. If you want to accept the truth, then you can't do it partially, you have to decide whether you want to know and accept the whole truth and live according to it, or you have to persist in lies that can comfort you better. Red or blue pill

A man in dark times

If one should single out the qualities that adorned him and for which I will remember him, then they are authentic intellectual openness and curiosity, which, as a rule, begins to evaporate in most people over time, and which did not leave Filipa until the last hour.

Living for imperfections

People who build a long-term relationship do not always follow the same path. Along the way, they diverge, there is a misunderstanding and a discrepancy in expectations. Love, therefore, changes aggregate states, but if it persists, if people are ready to invest and fight for the relationship, then we can call it real love

Headmistress, this is not a play by the "Slavia" Theater

The performance brought by the director of the Šabac Theater is not the performance of the "Slavia" Theater as she claims. It is not known with what money she was paid or how much. It is only known that tickets were distributed free of charge to SNS collectives

Interview: Peter Lovšin, Pankrti

Today, the average person is less than average

With some of our poets, a philosopher of anarchism and other friends, we made some happenings where we cooked spaghetti on stage. At two or three appearances of this happening, they kicked us off the stage, because it was too crazy. I was convinced that "Pankrti" would last as long as those happenings. But the following happened: when we played our first concert at Moščanska Gymnasium - which we advertised as "The first punk concert behind the Iron Curtain" - so many people came that we were surprised. If members of law and order stopped by on that occasion, they wouldn't even have been able to get inside, because everything in the hall was completely full, and even if they somehow got in, they wouldn't have understood anything.

Recommendation

War in the eyes of a child

Children are honest, they don't lie, and honesty and persuasiveness is the main virtue of the novel, which talks about people and not about official versions of events, which often seem tasteless, deceptive and clumsy compared to real images.

"You know, music is music, it's beyond politics, and I guess that's why it's indestructible," says Dejan Cukić, a guest at two concerts by his Croatian colleague Vlada Kalembo in the packed MTS hall in Belgrade.
