Mesto deistvija: publichnost i ritual v prostranstve post-sovetskogo goroda

This essay is an attempt to analyse the nature and the borders of the public space. 'Even though we call these places public, the public and the private are not separated here - and this means that even on a square a qroup of friends can form a private space talking and standing in a circle. Coming to a public place people always try to 'pitch a camp', sit somewhere and start doing something on this occupied territory. They put their things thereby marking this place as their private one and they don't expect 'others' at their table, they don't want to sit with anybody, and they even ask whether they can join a person already sitting at the table.'
