Abstract: The editorial board congratulates Elena Vladimirovna Petrovskaya, author and friend of the journal, on her birthday. Her books (“Part of the World”, “Eye Amusements”, “Disturbance of the Sign”, “The Unmanifest”, “Antiphotography”, “Nameless Communities”) are distinguished by attention to the sensual, the non-obvious, the collective and the unmanifest in culture. Her contribution to the philosophy of photography and her role as founder and editor-in-chief of the journal “The Blue Couch” are noted. The second memorable date of the issue is the 85th anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Veniaminovich Bibikhin, philosopher, translator, author of the books “The Language of Philosophy”, “Change of Aspect”, “Property”, “Word and Event”, “Forest”. The central importance for his thought of the concept of the world as “the space of human realization” is emphasized. For the anniversary, the “Past and Present” rubric publishes an article by A.V. Akhutin, “Riddles of Bibikhin”.
