I have been giving a wide berth to infantile psychopath Livry since I have no time to devote to such dregs of the internet. I am making this exception for the sake of Nora Bukhs. Please read these urgent appeals from Nora ( Head of the Department of Slavic Studies at the Sorbonne) , and from Lena Tchibor, editor of "Black Kvadrat," and react as you see fit. The garbage being sent to some 42 Fascist forums and to 217 subscribers to "Black Kvadrat," often over Nora's signature, consists, typically, of assertions attributed to Korovkin that I am insane (on the basis, for some reason, of my "Ogonyok" interview), declarations by Livry that I am an "Oedipchik" and a "puppet of the Sorbonne," and messages of unspeakable vulgarity to Mmes, Bukhs and Tchibor, unsigned but presumably from Livry.

Meanwhile, thanks to lawyer friends I have in Switzerland, certain details emerge regarding Livry's penal history. The reason for his arrest and expulsion from Switzerland was his written intention to murder and dismember his wife, discovered by the wife's Lesbian companion while Livry was off in Africa with a girlfriend. On his return, and his arrest at the French-Swiss border, Livry (apparently having learned a trick or two from Humbert) claimed it was only the draft of a story using names of convenience. By the way, both the "tycoon's daughter" wife and her friend turn out to be bisexual Basel hookers who advertise their services at 500 Euros a pop.

Yesterday I was accused by paranoid mouzhik Livry, in the most vulgar language imaginable, of having sent him computer viruses. Such behavior may be his style but it certainly isn't mine. I have only pity for him, and have recommended that he forget his obsession with me and put his time to better use.
