Кстати, последний альбом Брайана Ино «ForeverAndEverNoMore» назван буквально в честь книжки Юрчака — правда, Ино под «навсегда, пока не кончилось» имеет в виду изменения климата:
There’s a book I often mention by Alexei Yurchak called Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More. It’s about the end of the Soviet Union, how it just disappeared overnight. One day everyone was communist, the next day they weren’t. I always think of that as an illustration of how quickly things can change. I think the idea came from this book that revolutions always happen in two stages. The first stage is when everyone realizes something is wrong. So that’s where we’ve been now for a while, with the exception of a few ostrich holdouts. The second stage is when everyone realizes that everyone else realizes it as well. That’s the moment I think we’re heading towards. When the thing goes from being a liquid to a solid. Suddenly it’s a phase change. Within three years it will be impossible for a politician to run for office without climate change being the primary issue.
