A rave took place in Laninka. You can imagine how the conservative public reacted to this. On the night of November 1, a literary rave was held at the Russian State Library (known as Leninka), an event organized by Eksmo-AST Publishing and the Russian State Library. In the common work space we organized a "seated dance floor" with ambient music, in the main reading room there was a central room with techno, in the rotunda, as Psycho Daily writes, "more fun music" was played. "There were no bars, and drunks were not allowed in," reports the authors of Psycho Yomi. The publication reported that a total of about three thousand people came to the rave. Everyone got library cards. The decoration was bright - red lights everywhere, and Lenin in the center. No, I really think that if you're going to have a rave in the library, then it's something like this. Z-bloggers and pro-government activists, of course, were immediately enthusiastic - comparing the event to the "Devil's Ball". The head of the Safer Internet League, whistleblower Ekaterina Misulina, stated that the RSL stores "original books from the 15th century, publications by Johann Gutenberg, Ivan Fedorov, Schweipoult Piol". She suggested that the library books could be taken out "quietly". The organizers emphasized that they thought of all the safety measures. All the books remained intact, everything was cultural! It also attracted new readers to the RSL. In my opinion, a completely harmless event. Although who ever stopped someone from writing condemnations? ____ If the text about the rave does not open, click here.
