For persons from jurisdictions other than the Russian Federation
This warning is not for you. You don’t have to read any further. You can just proceed to wherever you were heading. Yes, you are very much welcome here and your presence is appreciated at this site regardless of your age, color, ethnic background, sexual orientation, education or political views.
For persons from the Russian Federation.
Stop. Read this warning first. It is also available in Russian (use the language switch above). All the materials on this site, be they of visual or literary nature, are strictly intended for sane, mentally stable mature persons of over 18 years of age and older. By accessing the pages of the site and reading poems, articles or other materials, you agree that the information contained therein may be found or considered mildly or highly offensive or may be completely disconcertingly incomprehensible to you or those around you, therefore the content of this site is intended for adults only, and it may contain things of textual or visual characters, poems, verse, prose, articles or images that are simply incomprehensible, horrifying, frightening, immoral, inflammatory, offensive to one’s religious feelings or to the sense of propriety or are deliberately and outright obscene. This applies to both modern art, literature, including poetry, as well as the classics. The site contains over two millennia-worth of writing, and authors from Ancient Rome or Persia or Renaissance Italy or 18th century Russia who could not have possibly anticipated your sensibilities. So, it’s better not to read anything at all and to move away. Please keep children and pets away from your computer screen or keyboard.
