Citadel Project
This project has been named “Citadel.” It was not an easy decision. For someone who has spent nearly half a century in journalism, it seemed until recently that it was still alive and capable of serving the vital cause of spreading meaning. Alas, there are almost no editors left that live for such a crucial task. The world has been swallowed by a wave of content that drowns out meaning with noise. Newspapers and magazines, radio and TV channels, bloggers—they are all busy collecting likes and subscriptions. They peer submissively into the eyes of the reader or sponsor: “Tell me what you like!” They publish only what guarantees a positive response. Ideas are not discussed; ideas that might provoke debate are not published. Noise has filled the entire space.
That is precisely why this project is being created.
Why “Citadel”? Because that is the name of the inner fortification of a fortress, the final stronghold for the garrison should the main walls fall.
Today, all external fortifications have collapsed. At the foot of the towers, zombies smirk and snarl, and people who once claimed to serve enlightenment and development have traded their blades for places in comfortable guesthouses.
The name “Citadel” is not just a working title; it is a declaration of position—perhaps the last territory of meaning.
Freedom of Meaning: The materials of the “Citadel” project are open for distribution. I welcome the use of texts, ideas, and fragments of this manifesto. The only condition is the mandatory mention of the Citadel project (zverev.space). The project is open to authors ready to share meanings. To share for free, without expectation of fees or cheers. There is no difference in who created the meaning, what matters is its very presence.
