My book Against the Modern World has just come out in Russian translation, as Наперекор современному миру: Традиционализм и тайная интеллектуальная история ХХ века, published by NLO (New Literary Observer) in Moscow.
The cover is amazing--see image to the right--and the book also contains some new material not included in the original English edition, mostly dealing with Traditionalism in Russia.
So far, the glossy lifestyle magazine Собака/Sobaka
has voted it one of the five most interesting non-fiction books of the season, while the rightist-nationalist newspaper Завтра/Zavtra (discussed in the book) has concluded that it is not worth getting out from under the blanket for it. The Zavtra review is very extremely hostile and rather funny.

The 'Zavtra' review is very typical. If you have read the Traditionalists, you need no secondary literature, especially historical context, and if you have not, you are probably not worthy of consideration in any case! In this case dished in vitriol!
