dear all,
i am happy to announce the publication of the book of research on the
russian internet. it's a great opportunity for those of you who don't
speak russian to get acquainted with the digital cultures of the runet.
the volume coves various issues, from aesthetics, diaspora, cultural
identity, communities, and intelligenzia to gender, public sphere, polit
technology, propaganda, pornography, and many more.


i myself contributed to this volume with the analysis of a new
literary trend that i call "mate lit" (or male literature) - a bizarre
mixture of
brutality, protest and patriarchic mainstream - developed entirely through
an online platform and becoming influencial in the offline domains.
