Alexander Gurevich does not give us direct answers, his speech is complicated. The author's thought should be caught in the most complex pattern of images, references, memories, quotations, hints, obscure ambiguous symbols, signs that, perhaps, only pretend to be symbols. He is not some realist who, wanting to portray the collapse of the bank, depicts the collapse of the bank, having conceived to paint boatmen on the Volga, sends the Volga and portrays boatmen. He belongs to another time and he is different. Who is he?
