During The Pioneer’s Readings, devoted to the subject «escape»,  «RP»’s columnists  fled in different directions and circumstances – somebody was dreaming of the penguins, somebody was running on the airplane from customs, and somebody was using velotandeme to run from global warming.

It was beginning, as usual, with the editor of «Russian pioneer» Andrei Kolesnikov’s column. He  went away from the topic, and in this case it was totally justified.

Andrey Kolesnikov

Andrey Kolesnikov told that he had decided to establish the literary prize. He also said that the winners would be announced on June 29. He was short, and there were also the reasons for it.

The head of the company «Renaissance Capital» Igor Kamenskoy’s column, which can be called a saga, really took a lot of time.

It also took Igor’s courage because it hurts to remember his and his family’s and friends’ torments on the way to Disneyland.

Daily communications with American customs, who knows better than you if you are terrorist or not – this test is not for the faint of heart. When Igor Kamenskoy colorfully described the realities of American «monkey house», Anna Chapman, first appeared on the Pioneer’s Readings, was especially thoughtful.

Kseniya Sobchak while reading her column, was almost motionless and looked weak and defenseless.

This is truly one of the best and most penetrating her columns. As Andrey Kolesnikov owned up nobody doubt, that for the magazine, devoted to the escape, Kseniya Sobchak wrote about one story of her life, and they both understood it without words: «The car with stretcher and drop cunters arrived to the plane, my father was introduced and after three and a half hours he was in Paris, thinking that he forever left the country which he really loved and for which he had done a lot». Than Kseniya was 16. And when you are 16, you want to enjoy the freedom and the first love far away from parents. Why she did not abandon everything, did not run away to her father in Paris? Now she'd have done so, but «there is no point on the earth where one could go to him». Her column’s the last lines Ksenia Sobchak was reading in almost complete silence.можно было бы к нему поехать». Последние строки колонки Ксения Собчак читала почти в полной тишине.

The revival has made sport journalist Gennady Shvets. Permanent columnist of «Russian pioneer», as narrator, he spoke for the first time. Guests were interested in his story of the journey to Alaska on the velotandeme because it was full of the useful practical information. When global warming will be quite global, in the south, of course, life will become impossible. But in the north, which has already investigated Gennady Shvets - at the time.

Margarita Simonyan  listened to the story with interest, but for sure she thought that there would be no global warming in her birthplace. And if the wants to run away somewhere, it wil be Krasnodarskiy Kray.

There she has a lot of relatives, who called themselves «invincible, flying into space people». Any natural anomaly can be survived with them. And the most important thing – it is impossible to collect so much information for the columns as in Sochi for one evening spent in the first local gay club.

After that it was the poet Andrey Orlov (Orlusha) and, according to the tradition, he read poetry.

Although he could make his debut with the column - in the new issue of "RP" his prose was first introduced. But after «Russia Today’s» chief editor he did not dare to read a column. That’s why the Readings were finished by the poem about «Poet Orlov, who in the heat of wine  is planning his escape to penguins». According to the reaction of the audiences, a lot of people dream of the life with penguins. Because the Orlov’s story was really idyllic.

That’s why he was awarded by the cognac house Martell «For the exquisite pleasure of reading».  And Alexey Bokov so imbued that even promised to spend the next «Pioneer Reading» out-of-doors. But it will be much more southerly, of course.
