Tolstaya and Lebedev on post-Soviet media

[Josh Wilson]

I'll take a guess as to what you mean. 

His blog is a sort travel/random thoughts blog. 

I suppose its detractors would call it pompous, bizarre, and vulgar. Its
followers would call it irreverent, original, and hilarious. 

His blog: http://www.tema.ru/

His studio: http://www.artlebedev.com/ 

And yes, if someone could record this event, I'd also love to watch it from
Moscow....
