FULL NAME. Three notebooks. Medvedkova O.

F.I.O. - Surname, name, patronymic - as in the questionnaire. What is this? What is the name? Do we own them? Constantly or temporarily? Are we assigning someone else's? The name - a stroke of a pen, a mask, a trap, a double, a paradox - is poorly lendered to understanding. "What's in a name?" Or maybe look at it from the point of view of history? Personal story, because the name is own. The name of the author of this book is just such a story, tragic and funny. In order to figure it out, I had to call for the help of philosophers and poets, writers and theologists, artists and historians. I had to cause the shadow of grandparents from the miserable. And name them by name.

The book is written in the form of a diary in the Paris apartment during quarantine, in three aunts corresponding to the three names of the author: Olya Yarho - in childhood, Olga Anatolyevna Medvedkova - in the passport and Medvedkova, Jarho Olga Anat - into French medical insurance card. Readers of the diary, the author invites you to think, figure it out, play names.

Olga Medvedkova - prose writer, historian of art and architecture, senior researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research on France, author of the novel "Three characters in search of love and immortality" (UFO, 2020).
