Pavel Kushnir. Birobidzhanskii dnevnik. Riga: Meduza, 2025.

Description

Павел Кушнир — пианист и писатель, погибший 27 июля 2024 года в биробиджанском СИЗО. Музыканта задержали по обвинению в публичных призывах к терроризму из-за антивоенных видео, которые он публиковал на своем ютьюб-канале. На момент задержания на канал были подписаны всего пять человек.«Биробиджанский дневник» — это последний и самый личный текст Кушнира. Рассказ о буднях солиста филармонии перемежается с очерками борьбы антивоенного активиста-одиночки, предельно честного, образованного и тонко чувствующего человека, бесстрашие и убеждения которого оказались несовместимы с жизнью в путинской России.

Pavel Kushnir was a pianist and writer who perished in a Birobidzhan prison colony on July 27th, 2024. He was detained on trumped-up charges of publicly inciting terrorism for posting videos protesting Russia's war against Ukraine on his personal YouTube channel. Only five people were subscribed to Kushnir's channel at the time of his arrest. Birobidzhan Diary is Kushnir's final and most personal text. It blends the daily life of a Philharmonic soloist with sketches from the struggle of a lone antiwar activist - an extremely honest, educated and sensitive person whose fearlessness and convictions turned out to be incompatible with life in Putin's Russia.

Amid Savagery, “None but the Martyr Is a Hero”
Denis Larionov
Discussing Pavel Kushnir and his oeuvre is no easy task because of his martyrial death in the Birobidzhan detention center — officially the result of a hunger strike, despite all signs pointing to Kushnir having been physically abused in jail. Kushnir...
