Emigration creates stressful limit-situations when person loses his identification:

work, friends, relatives, property, language, life and career prospects

Can you stand this collapse of identifications?

- Being 47, I must run around in Vienna as homeless dog looking for institutions

who would approve what I am doing

Feeling lucky to sell photo to newspaper once in season for 30 euros!

-You old enough to do what you consider right. Create your own newspaper!

- You are mad. I have nothing to cover my ass

- One doesn’t need much money to create electronic version

- If it is in German, I need to employ the translator, if it is in English,

nobody would read it in Austria, if it is in Russian…Why I emigrated from Russia then?

- What about your book… You have not finished it

- Who would buy this damn book?

- Find rich lover who would promote you.

- Bastard would take more expensive thing from me in exchange - my self-esteem

- Go back to Moscow

- First - it is boring. Second- I have little in common with Russians,

as with any other nationality of the world

- Jump down from Schweglerbr�cke

- I treasure my body. And I hate my mind.
