In Sergei Teterin’s project Cyber-Pushkin 1.0 Beta (http://teterin.ru/pushkin/), the computer mechanically produces cyber-lines based on Pushkin’s prosody and lexicon. In another project by Teterin, Pushkin FM (http://teterin.livejournal.com/106090.html), a monument to Pushkin (in Perm) broadcasts (with help from the artist’s own transmitter) Pushkin’s “Fairy Tale of Tsar Sultan” on the FM band.            

Emphasizing the desire to be free of ideology, the space of the Runet is indeed permeated by trivial and official clichés imported from the classical Russian tradition. Olga Lialina’s project Anna Karenin Goes to Paradise (http://www.teleportacia.org/anna/) is just such an example of this trend. Her work is based on the famous scene of Anna Karenina’s suicide in Leo Tolstoy’s eponymous novel. When the user clicks on the phrase “ANNA LOOKING FOR TRAIN,” he is given a long list of references to sites where the word “train” appears in the most unexpected contexts.
