Yes, we Russians are deadly serious about our hermeneutic interpretations of
classic writers. If you misread the text, you pay the penalty. In this case,
the fellow was just a student so only rubber bullets were used. Many
professional Russian
philosophers, on the other hand, have accordingly published and perished. This
Putinian School of Forensic Hermeneutics - exported to many parts of the world,
including Iran as Salmon Rushdie will attest to - dominates all academic and
libationary debate in the country. We hardly have any living French
post-structuralists left. They are either summarily shot or sent to a state
college in the US.
Na zdarovye tovarish.
