In February 2007, I wrote the story “The Unknown Facet of Mikhail Krug’s Work.” But not a single Russian publishing house, not a single newspaper, not a single magazine decided to publish it. That’s what they said directly: “We don’t want problems from the lads!” Although all the facts stated in the story were known and confirmed by the Circle itself during his lifetime By the fall of 2008, the Yuzhno-Uralsk newspaper in Kazakhstan published the story, dividing it into three issues. After that, many Russian publications published it. And now it’s not difficult to find it on the Internet. True, for some reason it is replete with spelling errors and typos everywhere, but let’s attribute this to technical errors of those who were not too lazy to reprint it from periodicals, although, for me, it was easier scan it and launch it onto the network. In my opinion, Mikhail Krug himself is the clearest example of the era. Era, after the collapse of the USSR, according to the principle: “An easy takeoff - a terrible end,” because, to some extent, as fate would have it, I influenced his work. Depending on the degree of our guilt before SOMETHING, we sooner or later pay , some by an accident, some by poverty, and some by their own lives. And, also, I thought that in creativity there are topics that cannot be touched. Someone said that a person looking into an abyss should remember that the abyss is also looking at him. It’s not for nothing that actors don’t like playing death so much. And the moral of that truth is that we shouldn’t touch what we don’t know and have no control over. Just as you cannot cross the boundaries of decency. I am sure that the tragic death of Misha Krug was due even when he simply took and appropriated my song “Svetochka”. It was written by me in a state between life and death. And it’s not my fault that he subscribed to this energy in every sense.
