eXiled Alert! / January 13, 2009
By Team eXiled

As per our promise, we just posted four more eXile issues from way back when. Check ’em out below or go to the eXile Classics pages for a up-to-date listing. We’ll be updating it weekly.

***

Issue #4, April 1, 1997 — The eXile starts with the telephone pranks. First victim: German embassy. Topic: rumored buy-back of Kaliningrad for a few black Mercs. Limonov calls Solzhenitsyn a sell out.


Issue #5, April 10, 1997 — The pranks continue with eXile’s Chernomyrdin Charity Fund. Limonov writes the definitive guide to Russian cults. Taibbi weighs in on Russia’s bizarre cult-ure.


Issue #6, April 24, 1997 — Taibbi investigates Moscow’s prison system, Ames writes about lame decadent posturing of Moscow’s eXpats and Limonov talks about how Russian cops tried to kill him. Oh, and there’s a prank on the Moscow Tribune and a Death Porn, to boot!


Issue #7, May 8, 1997 — Ames and Taibbi go on a search for Russia’s elusive spring season, prank a couple of Moscow whore dens and Ames recounts a recent smack-fueled orgy.

    “Ames and Taibbi go on a search for Russia’s elusive spring season, prank a couple of Moscow whore dens and Ames recounts a recent smack-fueled orgy.”

    Ames is quoted on page two of the most recent “International Socialist Review.”

    What a difference a decade makes.

    Fine. I’ll buy the book.

    No, seriously, buy the book. Ames and Taibbi are pretty unstoppable. I only don’t have the Exile book since I worked at a bookstore, had a bunch of remaindered copies I stole, and sent them all off to friends, via the U.S. postal service. The book was that meaningful to me, I actually packaged it up and sent it to friends.
