...will democracy continue without Gorbachev? As a supporter of his changes, I never praised him while he was in office -- a poet must not praise a czar, even a good one. But now I will say that this great man, one of the men of the century, turned around global consciousness, broke the back of totalitarianism and gave us glasnost...
Rock's surreptitious narrative poet and mystic folklorist takes a funky journey to the end of the night in a rich collection of reflective love songs and groove-heavy tall tales. Music full of hellhounds and enigmatic angels of mercy...
Good father, impotent husband, unemployed football coach and tormented modern male, he is summoned to New York because his sister Savannah, a poet, has again attempted suicide. It develops, of course, that her psychiatrist, Susan Lowenstein (played not entirely believably by the director), has a life as miserable as Tom's.

The son of a poet, he won a doctorate in physics and math, then served as deputy rector for science at Lenin State University in Minsk. He was long a party member, but did not turn to politics until after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, when he joined a campaign to expose official attempts to cover up the damage. His reputation as an outspoken critic earned him a seat in 1990 in the Belorussian supreme soviet, where he was elected chairman last September...
