DESCRIPTION
Black Apple is a magazine about what I saw and what I learned. It may sound stupid and perhaps useless to some, but hopefully it will give you another perspective to see the city from, as opposed to running around, nose buried in a tourist’s guide in search of nearby attractions. Graphics, product, layout, photography, content by Anton Burmistrov. Editor Alyah Bakheit. Process and life size photos can be found here: http://antonburmistrov.com/black_apple.html

political capital of black new York. the character
of the community changed in the years after the war, as middle-class blacks left
for the outer boroughs (primarily the Bronx,
Queens and Brooklyn) and suburbs. the notorious
reputation of harlem in the
i’ve explored a little bit of new York so far by
foot, it has mainly been midtown and Downtown and i hadn’t gone further than the top of central
Park. so, after three days from my arrival in the
city, i was determined to experience as many of
the unique communities of new York as i possible
could. so, i headed to harlem.
harlem, after all, used to be the embodiment
of American urban decay. with the people calling themselves new negroes. with the job
losses in the time of the great Depression and the deindustrialization of new York city after
world war ii, rates of crime and poverty
increased significantly. the neighbourhood
began to deteriorate into a slum. in the post-world war ii era, harlem ceased to be home to a majority
of nYc’s blacks, but it remained the cultural and
seventies and consequent refusal of many taxi
drivers to enter the area wasn’t unwarranted. harlem was ruled by organized crime – the
movie American gangster is focused on the drug trade centred here in
the seventies, which is considered its worst
period. in the movie there were thirty thousand drug
addicts then estimated to live in new York city, twenty thousand lived in harlem. Property crime was pervasive, and the
murder rate was six times higher than new York’s average. But this didn’t last forever. harlem is
pretty much a safe area now. i personally did not see any gangs, slums or ‘bums’. come the end of the drug war in the mid seventies and crime in
harlem has plummeted. now we can enjoy the statue of martin Luther King, theatres, galleries and nice looking coffee
shops.

i am used to european cities, for their
clear information, architecture, and clear locations of
key objects of mass culture, billeting and
catering. in new York, the traveller
will be disappointed. there is a main street
called the main street. in parallel, it usually goes market
street. there are first, second, third etc.
that go perpendicular to the streets. there
is nothing else. A question that intrigued me, to which i could not find the answer
to, was why the traffic lights show a go sign
in a white light? could this be a subconscious
reference to the fact that white men discovered America and then they killed
all the different darker colour skinned
people?

this order declared that all tall buildings should
have ledges. the rule was accepted by parliament to settle the dissatisfied
citizens living in the shadows so that the sun
could shine on them.
that decree had a great influence on architecture
throughout the world, including Moscow’s
skyscrapers. however, in Moscow there were no
complaints regarding that.

The
the Bronx is quite a big area, which is predominantly residential. there is no big industry here. Geographically the Bronx can be divided into southern, eastern and
western. northern Bronx is a bit like a suburb with its small houses. riverdale and williams Bridge are full of those houses. east Bronx is designed for wealthy
people. parkchester and coop city surprisingly breathtaking with their residential high-rise buildings. in the south Bronx, there is even a slum - they call it Mott
haven, hunts point and Morrisania. B

Brighton Beach rose to prominence in the 70’s when immigrants from the former
soviet union began to settle there, mainly from russia and the ukraine. the Local District counts approximately
100,000 inhabitants. Brighton Beach is famous worldwide for its concert halls, cafes and restaurants. the area has many cultural centres
of the russian community; among them are the editorial russian-language newspapers, radio stations, tv studios, recreational centres, schools and the
vast russian infrastructure. today, wealthy people from Brighton Beach settle in the prestigious suburbs of new York, miami and Los Angeles, however, the area remains the most popular place of residence for russian immigrants. Designed by
william engemanom back in 1868, Brighton Beach was conceived as a holiday resort.
As a result of a competition for the best name for this area, arranged in 1878 by henry murphy, Brighton Beach won the medal. the place was named after the resort town
in england. At the site of modern coney island Avenue in the heart of the former Boardwalk elite hotel was located. where in 1878 it was the railway, now it is a part of the new York metropolitan. the merger of the Brighton Beach railway
with the urban lines significantly increased interest in this area and the living residential area. the great Depression of 1932 gathered a lot of
poor people from other areas of new York and relocated them to Brighton Beach. though in subsequent years, Brighton Beach
started to restore its former position, and the massive influx of russian immigrants only contributed
to this process. in the russian deli shop in Brooklyn i often hear, badly distorted
english names when for example potatoes and turkey are called
“putathooz” and “tyurki”. however, mr.galickij (shop owner) says that new wave of immigrants prefer to use english words in the russian dialect. “nobody
says “indejka” (turkey) anymore, or “morozhenoe” (ice
cream) which is right way to communicate in russian.

The area is very inTeresTing, aT leasT To me. you can buy docTor’s sausages
in bulk from a seller named larisa and in The nexT kiosk a loaf of bread jusT for a dollar from
kaTerina. The russian communiTy is very noTiceable because
of The parTicular way people dress
and how They behave; even The
way They walk. one would Think ThaT
people should speak russian afTer 60 years of being in
us, buT no. russians are like parasiTes,
They infecT all Those around Them and
in The end everyone will speak russian. on The sTreeTs They speak russian, sell russian shoes, and
newspapers. The same ads ThaT are in manhaTTan are
in brighTon buT They are TranslaTed
inTo russian. The only Thing They are
missing in The sTreeTs are The yellow

people started to bring english words into the russian vernacular on purpose. it is easier to communicate this way. now the streets of Brighton Beach are speaking so-called runglish. it is a mixture of russian and english
languages, which distinguishes the pronunciation of english words, distorted by the russian accent.

In amerIca They have found a way To combaT homeleSSneSSand loudneSS aT nIghT.
close to any puBlic place (like a park for example) hangs a notice sign, warning people
that the place is closed from a certain time to a certain time. however, nothing is actually closed. though if someone were to appear there at the specified times on
the notice, they could Be arrested on legal grounds. i guess it’s good for society.
however it’s one of those things that make me say that there really is no freedom in america.

Here I met Paul a Homeless man.at tHat tIme, He lIved on tHe street.He dIrected me to tHe World trade centre memorIal after accePtIng $2.30 and an unfIltered cIgarette.
He tHen told me WHere I could get tHe most delIcIous but cHeaP breakfast. He Went on tHen to tell me He HoW rutHlessly HIs WIfe Had left HIm and HoW Was tryIng to raIse money to buy a tIcket back Home to nebraska, WHere HIs motHer lIved. He told me
HoW badly tHe cIty treats tHose WHo make only one mIstake. ‘you can lose
everytHIng all In one day’ He saId. I but I suPPose It can HaPPen
everyWHere, and WItH anyone.In Paul’s case tHougH, It Was HIs WIfe,
HIs aPartment, and HIs job.
or maybe It’s all just a made uP story, and tHat Was HIs Way of makIng
some extra casH. I guess I’ll just never knoW.
tHe fInancIal dIstrIct Is full of PeoPle at 10Pm. taverns and restaurants,
sHoPs WHere you can buy cIgarettes are oPen and tHe cost of a Pack Is only $3. tHIs Is far from realIty my dear reader-dreamer. tHere are no tobacco sHoPs or a macHIne or
even a soul on Wall street at 10Pm. If you are lucky enougH to fInd a sHoP In tHe boondocks WHere a cHInese
Woman “doesn’t sPeeek anglIsH” WIll HaPPIly sell you a Pack of smokes for 14 bucks. Well, at least tHe Problem
WItH smokIng Is solved. to buy cIgarettes for tHe PrIce tHey offer you
WIll Have to fIrst start WorkIng on Wall street. PrevIously, cIgarettes Were consIdered a glamorous accessory,
and only a Well-off Person could afford It. tHat Is a kInd of Paradox,
no? Poor PeoPle are HealtHy WItHout HavIng lung cancer, and WealtHy
PeoPle Were PoIsonIng tHemselves yet It Was fasHIonable and PrestIgIous.
today anyone WHo Wants to smoke can do so. In sovIet tImes It Was quIte
tHe oPPosIte, tobacco cost mere PennIes and everyone Was smokIng.
and tHIs, dear reader, Is HoW tHe government got rId of tHe Homeless.

i’m finally in the real life version of a photograph of the
square that has been hanging in my room for about five years
now. this is the place i have always wanted to visit. Five years of waiting and
now i’m out of the subway and i can’t
believe my eyes. skyscrapers. lights
and colours and crowds of americans rapidly moving along the sidewalks. loud sounds of the city, american speech.
the first two days i was walking with my
head thrown back. then i started to
examine the people and the roads; they are quite different
from those in london and Moscow. Manhattan is elegant, from the people living there to the buildings.

coney island is undoubtedly the most amazing area of Brooklyn. i can’t say enough about it. strictly speaking i cannot say anything at all. i have no certain phrases or
words left in my vocabulary about this area and its people. i just love it. Before, i did not understand how people could
stare at the sea for hours on end. But now i find myself sitting on the cold soft ground watching for cars brushing
the blown away sand.

for all of times that i’ve been in museums, only this one left me with
a positive feeling. the museum is divided into 3 floors; each floor is also divided into several specific
sections. each of these sections are devoted to a particular aspect of film or animation. in the museum there are not only security guards, but also guiders that show and tell stories of how cinema works, and
why certain things exist. this is time spent superbly for any man on earth. only 10 bucks and i’ve got a certain
impression about cinema. And i finally realized how natalie Portman actually had sex with herself in the
movie, Black swan.

Brooklyn is very loud because of the subway trains. the vibrations are boomed out as the trains pass overhead on the iron bridge, at a height of twenty meters above the ground. even at this distance, it’s
impossible to hear the person next to you speaking as if they were in a market in india.

Those days are gone. brooklyn is now appreciaTed
for whaT iT is: an acTively developing urban communiTy
wiTh iTs very own unique number of quirky and
exTremely popular residenTial areas and a TempesTuous
melTing poT of many naTionaliTies and culTures.
Brooklyn, with it’s population of two
and a half million is almost twice that of
Manhattan’s - the largest by population district of new york. Many of Brooklyn’s visitors do
not venture further than the elegant Brooklyn
heights, unless directed to coney island or Brighton Beach. in
my opinion, the sights of Brooklyn certainly
deserve more scrutiny.
there were times when
the residents of manhattan thought of Brooklyn as nothing But an east river

neither the london Underground nor the Metro in Moscow quite compares.
it almost feels as if the thick musty air down in the tunnels carries some magic dust along with it, making you feel dizzy
and overwhelmed by the bustling life.
the metro is vast and merciless. the subway lines are twice less than the
underground lines of London, yet they pass through the city agilely and have so many branches. the widths of the rails are standardized on all subway lines; so
different trains can use a single platform. it is, however, incredibly easy to get
confused, miss a stop or go in the opposite direction. But should you do any of these mistakes, you’re bound to find a live Jazz
quartet jovially playing their tunes, among the throngs of people.
long, rumBling trains consisting of many
carriages containing all sorts of people.
not surprising that almost every
person on the suBway is sitting with
headphones clamped onto their ears,
listening to music, regardless of what age, gender or race.
there’s something touching aBout the
new york suBway.

Queens is the first place in new York that
is usually visited by the tourists. Queens is home to the airports of John f. Kennedy and La guardia. But i am fortunate enough to arrive in new Jersey, so i visited Queens
only a couple of days later. it is the largest
district of the city with a population of about 2 million, which includes communities such as italians and middle
eastern Arabs, Jews and immigrants from
Asia, the spaniards and Afro-Americans.
