Um Acktually'ing the original author, lol lmao. He's still alive, you can't even do a "death of the author-open to interpretation" thing!
Death of the author doesn't have to do with whether the author is literally alive or dead (this is still a shit interpretation, obviously)
"Death of the author" is just capitalist West "re-interpreting" media in their image.

The USSR didn't collapse, it was overthrown. source: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Overthrow_of_the_Soviet_Union
