Read-Gorod store in Moscow canceled the presentation of the new book by science popularizer and journalist Asya Kazantseva. He himself told socialbites.ca that this happened due to negative comments under the meeting announcement she. According to the journalist, their events have already been canceled many times due to haters who “closely follow all announcements and start harassing venues.”
“They (“Chitai-Gorod.” – socialbites.ca) did not inform me, but they informed the brand manager of the Korpus publishing house, Zhenya Kononenko, and at the same time somewhere posted messages about the cancellation on the VKontakte social network. . This seems to be connected with the fact that when they wrote an announcement on social networks about the promotion of my new book, they received a lot of comments from people and bots that I am a person with a clear anti-war position. So my books should not be presented. They got scared and canceled it. “This happens to me from time to time because I am a person of real personal fame and a clear and consistent anti-war stance,” he said.
Kazantseva also noted that the presentation of her book in the Nizhny Novgorod “City of Reading” went smoothly. Since 2022, she emphasized that she is trying to organize events so that the haters do not find out.
“I had a presentation at Read-Gorod in Nizhny Novgorod. Everything happened there without incident, quietly, calmly, cordially. Therefore, apparently “Read-Gorod” did not expect any tricks, but Moscow turned out to be more remarkable. I’m not upset about this meeting, but because we live in dark cultural times where it’s so easy to cancel anything. It’s not about me personally. The point is that it is wrong in principle to cancel any cultural event, even events we do not like. As for my presentations, we will do the presentation somewhere else. “No problem,” he concluded.
December 11 in the official community of the “Chitay-Gorod” store chain on the social network “VKontakte” a message appeared About the cancellation of the meeting with Asya Kazantseva, scheduled for December 13. During the event, the journalist was supposed to present his new book “Where Do Babies Come From”.
