Thank you. Strangely enough, out of the blue an old poem by Mayakovski came to me, as I learnt it in Polish as a child. It's been almost sixty years, I've emigrated to Australia at 26. Absolutely nothing to connect me to Soviet culture and yet...That's why the indoctrination of the young is of fundamental importance. And
this is how the youth is manipulated and controlled by means of "popular culture"
Of course I knew that but, just then, having a "raw" experience of it, that, frankly had me stunned. Like: what? Am I going totally bonkers? Re your post: I've acquainted myself with Malaparte and found him fascinating, thank you. I know how precious your time is and I never expect you to reply, I'm just grateful that I can post my comments I appreciate that very much. My very best wishes for you and your wife :-))
My time is always present for Substack readers whom I hope to continue to engage. I am a Mayakovsky reader to include the biography. I also of course have a back bone flute.
