At NOPE Journal, we are now officially interviewing ghosts.

Virginia Pili just dropped an interview that takes us to a vanished Moscow vodka bar with Boris Arvatov, a flamboyant 1920s Soviet Marxist theorist who fought in the civil war, worked with Eisenstein, and more.

They drink, they eat black bread, and they discuss how the system turns us all into helpless frogs croaking in the rain.

Read it, pour a shot of something strong (but not Smirnoff, c’mon, get something better), and get back to work on your own piece!
