In other news, my poetry collection (two books in one binding) is finally out! It is in Russian (unfortunately, in some sense) and consists of texts, written between 2004 and 2016.

It is currently available in Moscow, Yerevan, and Tbilisi, and will come to Israel a bit later.

At the presentation in Yerevan as asked something along the lines "how do you feel to be so weird?", event in Jerusalem — sometime in June, most likely.

I believe I am long due an update regarding my situation.

For the last two months I'm living in Yerevan (I owe Fediverse too many photos!)

I had to move out of Israel till the trial concluded.
Now, the court had concluded that I'm indeed son of my father.

That means that I could go back to Jerusalem quite soon, I hope. (01/02)

Had a peculiar occurrence today. I met one of those perennial beggars from Mahane Yehuda in an unusual place, far from the shuk — probably near her house. She caught my friendly glance and, as a true pro, immediately started asking for money. I decided that today was the day to fulfil the mitzvah and reached for the wallet... (01/04)

For instance, in some recent post in a Russian-speaking FB-community people complained, "WHY THE VARIETY OF PRODUCTS IN ISRAELI SHOPS IS SO LOW?" Meanwhile, I'm studying the assortment of one local vegetable delivery: ELEVEN distinctly different varieties of potatoes, et c.

Looking at the variety alone, it's not just that I want to become a citizen as soon as possible, I want to marry Israel. And then take some cooking classes to learn how to handle unfamiliar vegetables.

Look at them, they don't distinguish between Burgundians and Aquitanians! Look at them!

Too bad. I think Duntsova’s bid for president was interesting. It’s an example of how opposition figures in Russia can appear out of nowhere, and Putin’s regime has to be constantly on guard.

@anderspuck for me personally, it was a new twist on Svetlana "Lada Rus'" Piunova bidding — without all the crazy conspiracy talks. Looked too sudden not to be crafted by some black-ops Kremlin PR officer

The other thing, I was surprised she was dubbed "a candidate" by both Russian and Western media outlets: while I understand the sentiment behind the wording, it struck me as poor journalism, unfortunately
