Kirill Tolmatsky (Decl aka Le Truk), 30 years old, musician, singer

About the son and the mirror world

Having a baby changes your life. You begin to think more about the consequences of your actions. This is basic. It is useless to build some kind of programs with a child, he will still be what he will be, I can only lay the foundation. The main thing that I tell him is: “The world is a mirror, everything you do will come back to you again.” Of course, I suggest to Tony that decent-indecent, beautiful - not beautiful, but in general, I treat him like a brother, not a child. It seems to me that he understands many things much better than me.

About the area, the anti-social government and the "pinchers"

I chose this area because it is quite quiet, at the same time in the center, near the Bauman Garden, Lefortovo Park, historical estates, there is where to take a walk. I live on Kazakova in a small old house with one entrance. I roughly know all the residents, in Moscow the culture of communication with neighbors is not particularly developed. It seems that everyone is quiet, here is such a neighbor behind the wall fun-deranged, periodically tosses scribbles-scribbles. I don’t take an active part in life at home, I don’t go to house gatherings, I learn about changes, one might say, in fact. Tony in go to school here in the area. Not so long ago, he wanted to learn how to play the drums, took him to music school in Tokmakov Lane, he immediately began to teach a teacher there, apparently, it was too early. Around the house, life is rich - "pinching", full of homeless people - it brings it from Kursk. My wife was recently "plucked" at Kazakov, moreover, the guy Slavic appearance so imperceptibly, carefully turned everything. The most nimble "shippers" are mostly Slavic in appearance. There is a beautiful estate of Count Razumovsky on Kazakovo, which has been restored for many years after the fire. I personally believe that the arson was deliberate. The Sports Committee sits there, and even children are not allowed to walk there. Okay, they recognize me, they allow me, but others don’t! This is a closed area. Why? On football fields can't get in either. Why? We have everything private - private government. They like to fence themselves off, close and sit there. It feels like the government is afraid of the people, they are afraid of the people. Maybe we just have an anti-social government?

About places and night shooting

If we talk about places nearby, in Lyalin Lane there is a cafe-shop "Fley", where I buy fresh farm products. If about Moscow in general, I know a lot of people in "Probka": cooks, staff, all very nice guys, they don't goof off. There is also a cafe "Mechta" next to the House of Music, the place itself is controversial, but the food is delicious. As concert venue I like "16 tons", there was "Caviar", it's a shame that it is no more. If we take musical content, there are very few events where the main thing is the quality of music. Basically, the emphasis is on cheap alcohol and the same music. People go to swell and rise. I don't see any other motivation. Moscow has no real club life- there is a night pickup.

About Moscow, criminal garbage and a woman mayor

For the most part, people perceive the world visually, and Moscow, compared to other cities, loses in this regard. It is very gray, yes, there is a center with interesting mansions, everything is more or less pretty, especially in summer, but in general, everything looks sad. And the aggressive background in the city is due to the fact that people do not get visual enjoyment. Why is there such aggression near the Moscow Ring Road and outside the Moscow Ring Road? Because the picture is not beautiful. It's called a ghetto. When dudes from American ghettos come here and enter ours, they are already cringing, they say: “we thought we had a ghetto, but here it’s generally such a gesture.” In the evenings it is generally dangerous to appear in some places. Yes, even take “Red October”, you can’t imagine closer to the center! There, in the dark, such characters hang out, “put on shoes”, fight, some kind of nonsense. A lot of tasteless advertising in the city. I think it should be banned in the yards, on historical buildings. Good things do not need to be advertised - word of mouth will do its job. They advertise mostly, sorry, all sorts of shit. Now everyone is talking about bike paths, pedestrian zones, but Moscow is not intended for pedestrians in principle. If we take New York, for example, there are as many people walking the streets every day as we had at the very beginning of the protest movements. And so, our people do not really like to walk the streets. And it's not about the cars that fill empty spaces on the streets. The city lacks greenery, but it was. As a child, I lived on Leningradskoe shosse, first in the Aeroport metro area, then Sokol, I remember what Leningradka looked like - there was an alley with trees, there were trees on Tverskaya. I had an idea, why not make a roof over Tverskaya? In the same place, it is really possible to make a roof to the Kremlin, create a completely pedestrian zone, put up beautiful lighting, insulate everything competently, so that in winter people get into summer, where birds fly. Nobody needs it. Better put another one shopping mall or office building. And rent everything more expensive. We have a huge problem with housing - all people are waiting for their closest old relatives to die so that an apartment appears. And how many empty, uninhabited houses are there. An artificial problem is created, a fictitious hype, this crazy money for square meters. I have one conspiracy theory - maybe they are up there, waiting for them to run to us from Europe? Something needs to be done about the garbage. In America and Europe, there are many private garbage collection companies, the waste disposal process is well thought out, and a certain company monitors each area. In Moscow, this is a very criminal business. And we need to talk about this serious problem, solve it somehow. But for some reason, we are talking about parking fines, about the importance of replacing tiles for the tenth time. The average salary in our country is somewhere around sixty thousand rubles, a communal apartment costs from five to ten thousand, you still need to travel, for food, and as a result, you earned this money and spent it only on survival in this city. I consider myself a patriot, I never thought of leaving, but for the last five years there has been a great desire to run away from here. In my opinion, the mayor should be a woman who treats the city as if it were her own home: paint it here, plant flowers there. I do not take Matvienko as an example. Matriarchy, of course, is a delicate matter, but a woman has more potential. And in political games can be used feminine charm some refinement. Or maybe, on the contrary, a baba, why not? Catherine was the same in her time. History shows that men obey their women. I'm definitely listening.

About cities

I always say that it is necessary to travel. It greatly develops a person in all respects. Everything is bad with cities. Maybe this will sound for the hundredth time, but I don’t understand how it happens that in the country richest in minerals, oil and gas, with a vast territory, no one deigns to bring small towns in order! Is everything clean and pretty in Koenigsberg just because of the proximity to Europe? Take Odessa - beautiful city in the past, now everything is falling apart, Peter is messed up too. Vladivostok - interesting city, but it’s no use that they built this bridge, repaired the facades before the next summit, and you climb to a high point - everything looks like one big factory. And so throughout Russia!

About fear and "zomboyaschik"

We, unfortunately, live in a time when the main engine of progress is fear. Fear of losing your job social status to say something wrong. I haven’t had a TV at home for seven years, I don’t watch “zomboyaschik”. The information I need is on the Internet: I use Facebook, contact, soundcloud, I read Leprosarium. And we don't smile much.
