My surname comes from the word “snooping”, but not scurrying, i.e., spoofing, joking, scoffing, idly staggering around.
My ancestor Shmonya / Shmonyaga /, a merry fellow and a lover of paradoxes, according to family tradition, “drove herds of pigs” / pigboy!? / and was recorded as Ivan Shmonin when giving out surnames. Nature did not want to rest on her descendants, so now, when my hand reaches for pen, pen for paper, strange, awkward texts appear: half-fables-half-parables-half-feuilletons, that is, "lectures".
I listened to lectures without quotes and took notes for 12 years (technical school, institute); and this made me so sick that now, when I hear the word "lecture", my hand removes the safety of the gun. Such texts are not published, even in the absence of censorship. Now my texts are forbidden by the moderators as rude, vulgar, obscene, obscene, hurting the tender ear of sentimental bookophiles.
But I. Barkov, A. Afanasiev, V. Vysotsky and others were not published during their lifetime. very honourable.
