Hello to bloggers from Lev Nikolayevich

In the life of Sergei Ivanovich occurred during this time their events. Already with
a year ago his book was finished, the fruit of a six-year labor entitled:
"Experience in reviewing the foundations and forms of statehood in Europe and in Russia." <...>

This book, after careful decoration, was published last year and
sent to booksellers. <...>
But a week passed, another, a third, and there was no noticeable impression in society. <...>
Sergei Ivanovich was counting on the details of the time needed to write
reviews, but a month went by, another, there was the same silence. <...>
Finally, in the third month, a critical journal appeared in a serious journal.

Golubtsova.
The author of the article was a very young and sick satirist, very lively as

After this article came the dead, and the printed and oral, silence about
the book, and Sergei Ivanovich saw that his six-year work,

Separately pleased with the description of the "young and sick feuilletonist" - in my opinion, great applicable to the portrait of the average inhabitant of the blogosphere and the Internet as a whole.

I respect Lev Nikolayevich.
