Столько разных отзывов встречались про Non-fiction, что я...

There were so many different reviews about Non-fiction, that I decided to make my impression - what kind of animal it is. I’ll say as diplomatically as possible: the MICEX format at the All-Russian Exhibition Center-VDNKh is much closer to me by thoughtfulness, spaces, and the desire to present the book in all its glory as a product of the human mind, soul, and creativity. Non-fiction made an impression of a disordered market, a la regional weekend fair. A small detail: a bottle of 0.5 Pilgrim water for 50 rubles at the stand of the State Historical Museum (sic!) - in principle, is consonant with the idea of ​​the whole exhibition, declared as an exhibition of an intellectual book. The theater begins with a hanger, and the halls for the presentation of high-quality literature begin with the fact that they are arranged differently, with the fact that there is some kind of concept in their location and in the internal structure of each stand. For some reason, I did not want to buy books on Non-fiction, despite the fact that I wandered for an hour and a half in the rows and despite the fact that, of course, there was a lot of interesting things there.
