The Russian Internet audience is above all interested in politics. Nevertheless, the representative of the most ancient profession became the most popular blogger in 2011. The entries that she made in her online diary were completely apolitical and were devoted, as a rule, to the difficult working days of a modern courtesan. The popularity of the blog has reached unprecedented proportions. And in 2013, a book appeared under the pseudonym Bezymiannaya Ekaterina appeared on the shelves of bookstores.
Who is prostitute Kat?
About who in reality is the author of the most popular blog in 2011 is not known for certain. In 2012, it was suggested that this was not an ordinary St. Petersburg prostitute. Blog posts are supposedly created by a group of authors who are far from the oldest profession. Nevertheless, the stories about which the mysterious stranger spoke instantly gained popularity among LJ readers.
The real name of the writer, known under the pseudonym Bezymiannaya Ekaterina, is unknown today. But this is not so important. The important thing is that her stories are written in good literary language. They have sincerity, humor, honesty and a little lyricism.
Who is Nameless Catherine? In part, the mysterious blog author answered this question in her few interviews, where, to the chagrin of fans, she appeared exclusively in a mask. And therefore, what Ekaterina Bezymyannaya looks like, no one has recognized.
About how a teacher became a corrupt woman
Numerous disputes as to who Nameless Catherine is in real life were caused by the fact that, according to the generally accepted opinion, a woman engaged in prostitution cannot be educated. She does not read books, cannot write, and even more so is unable to create such lively artistic images that are present in the stories from the series “Prostitutki Ket Notes”.
According to information that Catherine provided in one of her interviews, she was born in a small provincial town. Received higher pedagogical education. And she even worked in her specialty for about two years. However, wages for three months amounted to an amount equal to that which she subsequently began to receive in just an hour, providing sexual services.
What forced the young teacher to radically change her occupation is not known. About how St. Petersburg confusion has become a popular writer, much more information. Before writing the books Notes of the prostitute Kat and Colorful Life, Ekaterina Bezymyannaya created a blog. Spring depression once pushed her to writing. But it seemed a novice author to express his emotional torment in a faceless Word document. After all, even an inexperienced writer needs readers.
Blog as a Means of Expression
Online diaries Internet users start to keep for various reasons. Some want to express their opinion on political events in the country. Others are eager to demonstrate their literary abilities. Still others (they are the first and second) seek to earn on advertising. Ekaterina Bezymyannaya, whose books were the result of her crazy popularity in RuNet, once only decided to share her sore point.
Perhaps the creation of the blog was the beginning of a well-planned commercial project. One way or another, but on one of the most popular Russian platforms for keeping online diaries, the prostitute Kat was not the first representative of the most ancient profession. However, it was her blog that became the most read. She left behind not only her colleagues, but even Alexei Navalny, Ilya Varlamov and Artemy Lebedev. And this despite the fact that Catherine’s financial investments amounted to only ten dollars needed to pay for the account.
So different customers
The beginning of the work of the mysterious Kat basically came down to a description of her difficult fate. Later, her blog became somewhat entertaining. In a rather colorful form, the images of her clients were recreated by Ekaterina Bezymyannaya. “Notes of a prostitute” is a book that contains the most striking stories from her life.
Catherine did not leave her main occupation even when she had thousands of fans and readers. Although literary creation began to take more and more time. The men who visited the apartment of the author of the most scandalous blog were different people. But they all had oddities. One of the common psychological male types is the manipulator. Catherine Bezymyannaya dedicated several art essays to him.
Psychotherapeutic help
Ekaterina described the ordinary working days of a prostitute in such a way that it is hardly possible to believe in the existence of a group of authors working under one pseudonym. The former teacher of the Russian language portrayed her clients in a rather ironic form. Most of them are people of average intellectual ability, suffering from painful pride and somewhat perverse addictions. The author of The Prostitute’s Notes states that most of them need the help of a psychotherapist.
Prostitute Kat and Artemy Lebedev
Once a blog post appeared stating that its author is none other than a popular Russian designer. It was alleged that on behalf of the girl of easy virtue, Artemy Lebedev allegedly wrote for several months. Later it turned out that this person has nothing to do with the scandalous blog. Why Catherine published a message, which she refuted, remained unexplained. Perhaps, in this way, she wanted to raise her already high rating. There is also an opinion that the country's most famous prostitute sought to simply annoy the designer.
Blog monetization
When the online diary was just gaining popularity, the author stated that she would never make money on it. He is for her an outlet, a hobby, creativity. But over time, Catherine changed her mind. The blog could become a good source of income. In addition, it was necessary to depart sooner or later from the oldest profession. The author of the prostitute Kat blog began accepting offers from advertisers. The only category of "businessmen" whose activities she flatly refused to promote in her diary were magicians, sorcerers, and other scammers. In one of the first interviews, Catherine said she did not want to deceive her readers.
Literary style
What is Ekaterina Bezymyannaya writing about? In her books, she succinctly and humorously portrays men. The “Colorful History” also refers to the acquaintances and girlfriends of the writer. Moreover, there are no philosophical digressions in the books. The author does not discuss whether it is good to be a prostitute. She merely states a fact.
“Notes of a prostitute”, perhaps, can be compared with the prose of Charles Bukowski. In them, as well as in the books of the American writer, there are undisguised naturalism and sincerity. The piquant events in the work “Notes of a prostitute” are described so masterfully that the reader instantly imbues confidence in the author. And after reading the book of Ekaterina Bezymyannaya, the assumption that under this pseudonym in reality a brutal man or a group of professional psychologists seems to be extremely strange and strained.
