Square ontology. Senchin R.

This collection appeared thanks to a specific event - the so -called “standing behind the square” in May 2019.

It makes no sense in detail - hundreds of articles and information messages have been written about it. It is enough, as they say, to open the Internet. In short: the city administration of Yekaterinburg leased most of the square in Oktyabrskaya Square for the construction of the temple. On May 13, this plot was fenced with a lattice fence, which was demolished by the assembled citizens. From that moment, a multi -day confrontation began. On the one hand - riot police, chopovtsy, builders who install the capital instead of a temporary fence, on the other hand, when several hundred, when thousands of Yekaterinburgers.

a few days later the capital fence was dismantled, the administration accepted the requirements of the protesters about the referendum, in The result of which the place for the temple suitable for most inhabitants should be found.

I participated in protest. I heard witty screamers, puns, slogans, saw posters forcing me to smile and nod: "Great!" In the same place, in the crowd, they read the newly composed poems, performed songs.

Yes, the surge of protest activity gave rise to a surge in creative activity. And I wanted to collect, capture its fruits in the form of a book. The result was this collection. Not everything came in. Much that seemed to be strong, talented, on paper, it began to look helpless. I had to leave overboard...

The collection is not a journalistic. There is not so much directly about the situation with the square. But almost everything is generated by it. Literally a few works were written earlier, but they, in our opinion, the compiler and publisher - are very consonant with both the topic and the note of the collection. Our task is both simple and daring at the same time - to try to capture a moment through the word. Moreover, the moment this may well grow to ontological latitudes and depths. Philosophers involved in the issues of being and consciousness, there is something to pay attention to. (Roman Senchin, Yekaterinburg, 2019)
