1 year Wonderzine: The best materials about life, the universe and in general

Exactly one year ago, on June 3, we launched Wonderzine, the youngest project of Look At Media publishing house. So, next to publications for conscious citizens, representatives of creative industries, brave guys, businessmen and startups, a magazine appeared for conscious, creative, brave and enterprising girls. All this time we have been groping for human language, which can be spoken to readers about everything in the world - including the serious and sad, funny and shameful, clever and foolish. We hope that more often we succeeded than not. Today, filled with a sense of our own importance, we decided to remind ourselves and you of the materials that went into the bowels of the site, but which we would not like to forget.

Moscow - Vladivostok by train in 27 days

When you decide on a trip to Russia, it is better not to think for a long time, otherwise you will definitely change your mind. I realized that all this is really happening to me when at 6 am on July 1 I found myself with a backpack hanging behind my back at the Kursk railway station. What can make you decide on such a trip?

How to find yourself in the history of beauty

Beauty is a matter of taste: it equally confirms the choice of partners by friends and polar comments under photos of celebrities. But for an adequate relationship with your body, it is more important to find support in the present and the past: short (in your opinion) fingers and plump (in your opinion) thighs have already happened to someone on this planet, and this is not an insuperable drawback, but an important and necessary one. a particular biological type, habitat, lineage, and social group. And there is nothing better and clearer than the general history of art to gain this support.

We talked with the chief plastic surgeon of Russia Nikolai Milanov, Head of the Department of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Russian Scientific Center of Surgery them. Acad. B. V.

Sex Change: How I became a man

Modern gender studies claim, that the concepts of "man" and "woman" are not so much biological as social, and between these two poles there are still many opportunities for self-determination. Wonderzine gives the floor to people who have had to adjust their body so that their self-perception coincides with the biological sex. Read the story of a man who was a woman not so long ago.

New rock stars: Professions that girls fall for

The bad news for guys with guitars: all sensible girls realized that rock stars have big problems with free time, self-conceit and healthy lifestyle. They were replaced by representatives of completely different professions: to be an art director, a cook, a sysadmin or a street artist is now equally beneficial (in all senses). Even if you do not take into account the fashion on mitboly and heritage, it must be admitted - we appreciate the men who create something tangible, and preferably with their own hands.

Why women refuse to marry

Loneliness is the new reality of urban dwellers, and not only big ones. The recently published book by New York columnist Eric Kleinenberg, "Solo Life" only confirms that the lonely phenomenon is quite an international one, and the problem is too stagnant not to be thoroughly researched. We asked Tanya Simakov to meet with Anna Shadrina, the author of the study of the phenomenon of loners in Russia, and find out why the latter had the idea of writing a book about it.

Ugly and sweet: Why are we being drawn to the bad guys

A beautiful, slender girl, breasts, mop of curls, a diploma of MARCHI and a good salary - all with her. Her boyfriend is a 35-year-old loser, an alcoholic and a walker, who cheats on her at every opportunity. All she gets from him is empty beer bottles, as well as constant reproaches: you are fat, what an ugly stuff you put on, why dinner is warm, not hot, if you were less hungry, you would earn more.

Why in Japan refuse traditional sex

Young people in Japan massively refuse sex - that is, in general. Meanwhile, in the collapse of online porn of Japanese production are increasingly found videos with scenes of violence against women. What is even worse is not always imitating it. We understand why sexual aggression progresses in one of the most developed and well-educated societies in the world, and also how modern media and centuries-old traditions are to blame.

How the Chinese economy makes women mistresses

In our imagination, the Chinese seem extremely conservative with regard to the institution of the family. However, those who are familiar with the history of Asia know that adultery has been common there at all times. Modern China is undergoing a transformation of the ancient culture of compulsion. Today, the presence of a mistress emphasizes the social status of a man, and the mistress herself becomes an addition to expensive watches and a prestigious car.

Daniyar Shekebayev on keto-diet and weight control

I will first tell you how I started to get fat. I was not noticeably fat at school, but also the thickest in the class. And that means: THICK. Somewhere in the second year I began to gain weight dramatically, and a year after uni ended I weighed 110 kg. And a little earlier my father was diagnosed with diabetes. We were two fat men who did not understand why they were getting fat.

Economist Irina Yasina on how to manage money in a crisis

Among the huge number of phenomena about which we know nothing, the economy stands out: we do not understand well enough what it is, how it works, whether it is worth panicking during a crisis and, most importantly, what to do with money now. Irina Yasina, an economist and human rights activist, the daughter of the former Minister of Economy Yevgeny Yasin, helped us find answers to these questions.

Why do men stop having sex

I have two news: good and bad. First, a good one - thirty-year-old men began to take sex seriously and responsibly. The bad - they now treat him so responsibly and seriously that they prefer not to engage.
