Yegor Letov: I'm sorry terrible that I was not here on time!

- In fact, as I was an anarchist, and it still is. Another thing is that now I'm interested in the environmental aspects of modern anarchism, much more, so to speak - the ecological anarchism, I moved in this direction. If earlier it was conventionally political, but now I usually remote from politics, because in our country - it's stupid and useless exercise. All political activity is directed as a specific challenge to see themselves - as is the case with Limonov, for example - Yegor Letov says in an interview with Rolling Stones (July 2007). (Are you following the political developments), "In general, I am by what is happening in the world in our house apart TVs everywhere they operate around the clock... We watch everything, all the news particularly, nothing really happens when something happens - really funny or bright - there's about to explode something, or sink back the Ostankino - it's a show I really do not know about the political state of affairs to see -. I wonder what's going on in the world for global catastrophes and even change - hurricanes, earthquakes, heat ... After all, what is happening now - it's a natural end of the world, the end of human civilization, and entertaining to watch, I'm I'm in the process of evolution. how it works, beginning with the appearance of the earth and ending with where all this leads "(Why the roads go without protection):".. Here in this moment Those who are interested in us, know that they are in person . They fit, shake hands, say sometimes only: "Thank you." And was not once, not that someone threw at me with his fists in the street for the fact that he hates me for my ideas and things (laughs). Actually, I have the right policy, once you get involved in creative activities, I began fully protect you from yourself, on the television - outrageous with a mat of sharp political statements and. Then, if there is a coup, called himself a Communist - praise me for not always started. Once the 89-year began grobomaniya, I immediately broke the tape. Then she called "confused": mentioned to us the most difficult to the media, nowhere could be more. All the time to maneuver and invent a few new moves to protect themselves from editorializing. "(DANGER entry into the TV)" For us it is a danger, because otherwise we will be on par with everyone else, roughly speaking. I think it is - right, fine policy to intuit constantly under various odd jobs share must. For example, at one time I had a group of specially fridzhazovogo saxophonist, my brother Sergei, who was quite - excuse the expression - not sewn on to the n ... de sleeves. Initially started every scratch beets, then used - and we left immediately after. It's still an important point. Why do we even have a "Civil Defense". From the perspective of nature, I am not the creator of congenital or a poet. I am very happy not to have to do it. I rather the consumer. I am a lazy person. And he began to do just because he is not listening to the Russian language scene nothing I would be pleased, but the shit that sounded everywhere. To such an extent I was, as they say, for the power offensively. "(Of Rock in the West)" I do not think that there is something she flourishes: how much I listen to modern groups - all Strokes and Babyshambles - once again we see that it is nonsense, of course. I was recently asked why a rollback of interest in contemporary music I am in a nutshell, said yes, because it was played ... All these White Stripes, The Fratellis, The Good The Bad & The Queen, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I try to buy them to be aware of what it is and what size they are our age. All of this is sad. That is, it is certainly better than most of the music, because all Coldplay - can not hear it at all, compared to U2 -. The gods "(in relation to alcohol and other stimulants)" I had a period - the year 1998, probably - if I played basically no stimulants or very drunk. Once nearly naked, not me instead of the people back. The result is not to say that the unfortunate - but on their own health had to reconsider, because I just started to lose consciousness at the concerts. The body can no longer cope. Had to give up the pleasures of life to others. "(Our Time)" I still have so humiliating moment: I'm terribly sorry I was not here on time. The dream of my life - in order to find the creative area, close to me in spirit to the people, even though I in no way inferior. But we have this -. Like, say, New York, where they were Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Johnny Sanders, Richard Hell, Patti Smith, but who knows who else - has never been and never will be Therefore, we have - such as garage, punk Grateful Dead - have found their niche twenty years become old - but no one will climb in this niche, because you have to pay - health, otherwise. When we started to play rock and atonal writing absurd texts - we get it over with and kill, we are drawn us to the mental hospital ... I had to leave the house and wander the country with her purse over her shoulder and 40 rubles in his pocket, so desired that we yankoy and traveled. The same generation does not understand what is the price of the word, even though all the real music comes from here: You can get not only on the head, but was killed the next day - but still something you do. That is, if it works, I think. Well, to put it - no need to write a song about Putin even as against a particular warlord in Chechnya or Dagestan diaspora in Moscow or, say, a particular gear - then yes (Laughs). "
