Sankya p.2 by Prilepin
The Slavic Literature Pod - A podcast by The Slavic Literature Pod
Show Notes: This week, Matt and Cameron finish Zakhar Prilepin’s Sankya (affectionately retitled Sankya: Reeeeee), reading chapters 8-13. They’ll also be going over the ties between the messaging of the story and some of Prilepin’s real-life political engagement. Major themes: fatherlessness, arson, murderous intent, National Bolshevism. 8:00 - I meant to say 2014. Please don’t come for me in the comments. 13:17 - “eet eez” 17:39 - Right as according to his own moral philosophy, not according to...you know, my moral standards. 35:25 - “For real,” as if them committing arson at the McDonald’s wasn’t real in comparison. 35:33 - United Russia being Putin’s real-life political party. 45:48 - If we consider this most broadly, there are about 72 regions in Russia.
