Vadim Klimov
"In July 2014, we decided to take on an ambitious project and doubled the issue, publishing it in two volumes: Labour and Capital. The split edition sold out a long time ago, and now, twelve years later, we have created #48 in three thematic versions. Reality, Dream, Horror. A monumental publication that splits the spring of 2026 in two, after which the world undergoes an irreversible transformation, and there is no going back."

HORROR
We understand that you can have fun even with a leaking package. With a lecturer running amok in the window. Lolita promises to light a candle for him. And we run away into the pitch darkness. In the very new year that has happened to us since the beginning of time. But today is not December 31st... or even January 1st. It's already April, which is traditionally Ravager #48. Horror.
Louis-Ferdinand Celine, Gustav Meyrink, Hannah Arendt, Daniil Harms, Bertrand Russell, Raymond Roussel, Evgeny Golovin, Dean Reed, etc
will throw their wretched thoughts into the spring nightmare of humanity 2026.
THE DREAM
The lesson ended a long time ago. And indeed... a hand grabs Oliver's pigtail and pulls with all its might. The bell rings. Oliver opens his eyes, gets out of bed, and drives to the other side of town. Oliver works as a mannequin in the window of a funeral home. He has Ravager #48 under his arm. A dream. Samuel Beckett, Raymond Queneau, Andre Breton, Julius Evola, Raymond Roussel, Alexander Dugin, Paul Eluard, Vadim Klimov and even William Burroughs with Anna Kavanagh, not counting all the others, in the April issue of their favorite magazine. They sleep and see how their lives are going.
REALITY
Reality is the consciousness of a person who is willing to give up anything, as long as it can be identified and has a name. The core of a person is not a collection of qualities they value most, but rather something they are not aware of or vaguely suspect exists, unable to articulate it in any meaningful way. This strange drink, which no one has tried, including the person himself, is the main part of it, without which it is impossible. How impossible is reality without such authors as Emil Michel Cioran, Louis Aragon, Vadim Klimov, Raymond Roussel, Charles Maurras, Nikolai Starobryadtsev, Michel Leiris...
