Updates on the site on the first day of the New Year On the main page of the site – two new works by Alexander Korotko: one – New Year’s greetings to visitors to the site, the second – an example of a philosophical interpretation of the fact that the past has changed by the present. The REVIEWS page was also supplemented by the essay by Sophia Minkwitz, the permanent author of this section of the site. Publications of Alexander Korotko recently caused a desire not only to realize their depth, but also to share their thoughts with the author and his readers. Sophia Minkwitz’s response is not just complimentary, it is convincing and in many respects coincides with the opinion of many – literary critics, colleagues, as well as lovers of intellectual poetry and prose.
