Dmitrij Kapitelman, Ruski specijaliteti, 2025 Dmitrij Kapitelman rođen je 1986. u Kijivu. Kao osmogodišnjak se s obitelji preselio u Njemačku, u sklopu programa kojim se, govorio sam o tome, zbrinjavaju židovski „kontingent izbjeglice“.

Quotes by Miljenko Jergović (?)

“Ona je živjela u stalnom strahu da će nešto važno i lijepo u životu propustiti. Često je putovala a još češće patila jer ne putuje. Smatrala je da su pravi povod i sreća uvijek negdje drugdje stalno je bila puna planova kako da ih uhvati za rep kako da u stalnom gibanju pronađe onaj kristalni trenutak kada se barem tako kažu snovi život pretvara u bajku.”

“Pita mene Amerikanac šta ti je to dunjaluk, ja ga pogledam, stvarno mu ne znam naći neku englesku riječ, nasmijem se i kažem mu - to ti je, moj novinaru, nešto kao all over the world. Nekome je all over the world od Baščaršije do Marijindvora, a nekome je oko zemaljske kugle.”
