Announcement - A damn dozen awkward questions.

                            ANNOUNCEMENT
             READ IN THE NEXT ISSUE "TWO HUNDRED":

              A FUCKING DOZEN AWESOME QUESTIONS
                BORIS NATANOVITCH STRUGATSKY,
                 TO THE JURY MEMBER OF THE "WANDERER" PRIZE

  1. Why in your speeches regarding Interpresscon?
the idea has been repeatedly voiced that fandom should have something to do with “In-
terpresscon" as little relation as possible? What are you doing in this case?
So, do you understand the term “fandom”?
  2. A significant number of Interpresscon participants are clearly
accepted the public speeches of Andrei Mikhailovich Stolyarov
as an expression of your point of view. This opinion was also based
to the fact that, speaking in the debate, you expressed solidarity with the position
Stolyarov, negatively perceived by a significant part of the audit
rii. How true is it that Andrei Stolyarov in most cases
Chaev expresses the opinion of Boris Natanovich Strugatsky?
  ...4.How do you feel about the fact that Alexander Shchegolev in his
article voiced a long-standing opinion in the fandom: Andrey Sto-
Lyarov considers himself the number one figure in Russian science fiction
and erects a pedestal for himself on the literary authority of Strugat-
who?
  5. Boris Natanovich, please arrange those listed in
in alphabetical order literary awards in the field of fiction in
in descending order of their prestige - in your opinion, of course: "Aeli-
ta", "BelyaevskayaPrize", "Bronze Snail", "Great Ring",
"Interpresscon", "Wanderer". Share your opinion about each
of them.
  6. How justified, from your point of view, are statements about
that the “Strannik” award most objectively reflects literature
tour significance of the nominated works? How, in this context
Ste, it looks like the non-participation of Vyacheslav Rybakov’s novel “Gravilet” Tse-
Sarevich", winner of the "Bronze Snail" and "Interpresscon", in fi-
nal voting on "The Wanderer"?
  ...8.If it is declared that “The Wanderer” is the most prestigious
nary prize in Russian science fiction, and it is awarded only
authors who write in a strictly defined manner, then isn’t it
this is a direct attempt to declare this trend in science fiction gene-
ral and highest priority - and an indirect attempt to force
and write other authors in the same manner? And is it possible to consider this
thread as suppression of freedom of creativity?
  ...13.Yuri Fleishman publicly stated that he accepts the hand-
the cancellation of the "Wanderer" award as a deliberate insult to the fandom and personally
him as a fan. Are you afraid that this opinion is shared by
significant part of the active fandom? Do you recognize the fact of intention-
insult to science fiction readers by the jury and the founders
winners of the "Wanderer" award?

                   HE SAID HE WOULD ANSWER!!!
