BG: In Russia, a smile is a crime against the state

Is not that a new sweater, blue jeans and a Buddhist "Fenech." Boris Grebenshikov smokes one cigarette after another, drank black coffee, nicotine. The cigarettes cause either surprise or confusion. Guru of the skirt instead of the expected strong thick cigar ladies sipping cheap cigarettes and slowly, talking about the things that discussion will not be accepted. Discuss exactly like ordinary mortals weather, BG talks about his last conversation with spirits and squinted and peered into the dark corners of the club. As travel from Armenia to India, shortly before his 55th Birthday, decided the elusive Grebenshikov give only concert was in St. Petersburg. - Let's start with the most important start. A man named Boris Grebenshikov mystery to you or already here? - Who's there? - BG sly smile. - What are you doing in the East? Themselves? - What to look for yourself? Another thing is to understand - why you are doing. These concepts seem to find me far-fetched and obscure, - says the musician "MK". - They exist only to spend time in gossip. But instead, you can just sit and breathe. What I do in India. And more sleep. I do not have not slept for three nights, so quiet night I think something unattainable, like Atlantis. Why do you see yourself? Another thing is to understand - why you are doing. - Do you believe in life after death? Grebenshikov frown drink, a drink half a cup of coffee and smoked a muses: - This is a contradiction in terms. Life after death does not exist. But there is something else. Something for which we have no words, because we have not been there, and those who get there, I can say nothing. I do not think that this is all over, because there is too much evidence to the contrary. - Like what? They are confronted with the mystery of life? - What is Mysticism? - Grebenshikov is back on his favorite skate and to answer a question with a question. - For example, I do not know what it is. But I have seen things that do not talk. But they do exist. For example, in my home in London living spirits. But this is not mysticism. The presence of a particular type of physical forces of a different order, have visibility reason. I saw them not, but good to hear. And even talked to them. These were two people in the past - are thieves. We have conflicts with them ... and that's really weird, every night they opened valokordin and placed it on the kitchen table. Why? Why ghosts valokordin? White figure ... If we agreed with them that we do not touch each other. They stayed in the apartment, but most does not bother me. Then it turned out that the house is on the site of the famous Taybernskogo cemetery. There, in the XV century, was hanged. There is nothing unusual in this cast is not. You die, but some of his power remains and sometimes takes a few unusual forms ... - Your other apartments also meet a ghost? - Before, in some cases of non-human energy often. All people. I attention to these things, and many - not. - So, pay attention to the energy of the place where you are. In St. Petersburg, the energy? After a long silence Grebenshikov quietly: - In answering this question I do not want. I am a very great respect for these creatures that inhabit Petersburg. - And who else in St. Petersburg, you are treated with great reverence? - For those who live in St. Petersburg next to people - in all seriousness said BG. - Who's there? - Did you ask her. Only they learn to notice - Grebenshikov says so softly that I barely heard him, to say nothing of the creatures that inhabit Petersburg next people say. - Are you often in Nepal, Kathmandu. Petersburg and Kathmandu - have something in common? - No. But in St. Petersburg would not hurt to build some of these stupas. In general, it is best to place in St. Petersburg Admiralty Shipyards put a statue of a cat height of about 150 meters. He would also serve as a lighthouse. This would counterbalance the strong balance of power in the city. And the eyes of the world ... - People? - No! The cat. Imagine: light 150-meter and the cat eyes. Beauty! - What other sculptures, in your opinion, is not enough? - Not enough 300 statues of cats has cast in all shapes and sizes. They can be placed in different locations in the city. This would attract more tourists, because no one would know just exactly how many cats, and anyone who would. - Do you think Valentina Matviyenko will go there? Grebenshikov slightly shrugged his shoulders and said: - I do not know. But in general, women in power - it's very positive. Once we have the age of matriarchy must, not as a rule men. Have you noticed that the number of women in leadership positions in the world is getting more and more each day? I think it is very good. Anyway, if you remember the last one hundred or even 200 years of Russian history, it is unlikely that we have a better time than now to live. Street view, you see a lot of people who go and fight bleached his hair? - But no one smiles. - In Russia ever had a lot to laugh about? In Russia, a smile is a crime against the state. For a smile, we are beaten. - And in the gray London to smile more? - About 25-30 times. - A few years ago you said that the new song you are more fun than LSD. - I told you that? In my opinion, I write something. Me, and it never came to be compared to each other. - The global financial crisis somehow influence your well-being? - Absolutely no way. Before him I was at zero and remained at zero. I have nothing to lose.
