Abstract
Dereliction will never be a fashionable aesthetic in Russia; it's too real for too many. I'm leaving Moscow in a late summer of extreme temperatures, and I'm leaving my close friend Kseniya who put me up for ten days in her apartment here. The Trans-Siberian Railway will take six days to Beijing. Though five years in Australia has given Kseniya a taste for second-hand clothes, that's the limit of her appreciation for old things. For her, this is transport for those who can't afford anything else. Why would someone from Australia get on this clapped-out old train to look out at Russian misery?
期刊介绍:
Meanjin was founded in Brisbane by Clem Christesen (the name, pronounced Mee-an-jin, is derived from an Aboriginal word for the finger of land on which central Brisbane sits) in 1940. It moved to Melbourne in 1945 at the invitation of the University of Melbourne. It currently receives funding from the university, the Literature Fund of the Australia Council for the Arts, CAL and Arts Victoria as well as receiving vital support through subscriptions and other sales.
