SUMMARY:[:en]SONGS FROM THE SUITCASE: Inhabiting an Inheritance by Rosanna Moseley Gore\, talk and book launch by the author with Q&As[:ru]«МЕЛОДИИ ИЗ ЧЕМОДАНА: путешествие по семейному наследию”\, презентация книги Розанны Мозли Гор и беседа с автором.[:]
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will be followed by a drinks reception. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. \nRosanna grew up in suburban London in the 1960s and 1970s. But her background was very much not the typical English one of that time. Her father escaped from Berlin on a Kindertransport in 1939. Her mother was Russian\, born in Harbin in Manchuria in 1923. \nRosanna’s childhood and upbringing were hugely influenced by her half-Russianness\, particularly because her beloved grandmother Olga Youhotsky (as her name was anglicised) lived with them\, and taught her Russian as well as many\, many other things. \nIn her book Songs from the Suitcase: Inhabiting an Inheritance\, Rosanna writes about the gifts\, the cultural riches and the inherited trauma that came with this family. What has it meant for how she thinks\, what she believes\, where she feels she belongs (or not)? \nIn this talk\, Rosanna will bring to life her experiences of exiled Russian identity lived out in a domestic setting. She will explore the influences on her use of language\, on her cooking\, on her world view. She might say a bit in her very rusty Russian that never did get further than ‘O’ Level back in 1972 (though she did get an A!). \nWhen: Thursday 27 June\, 2024\, 18:30-20:30\nWhere: Old Library\, Pembroke College\, Trumpington Street\, Cambridge CB2 1RG\nLanguage: English\nFormat: Hybrid (in person and on Zoom)\nTickets: in-person £8 adults\, £5 CamRuSS members and concessions; on Zoom: £5 adults\, free for CamRuSS members only.\nPlease book via allevents. \nRosanna Moseley Gore was brought up in London by her Russian mother and grandmother\, and her German Jewish father. A Cambridge University Russian Language Prize (the Olga Youhotsky\, Catherine Matthews and Irene Gore Prize) is named in memory of her grandmother\, aunt and mother. It is awarded annually by the Examiners for Part II of the Modern and Medieval Languages Tripos for an outstanding performance in Russian in that examination. \nShe inherited a huge archive of photographs\, letters and documents from both sides of her family – an archive that was too painful to look at\, but too precious to destroy\, telling stories as it does of lost lives\, lost countries and lost loved ones. With her inadequate Russian\, Rosanna is beginning the long process of unlocking its secrets and is starting working on a big book about the personalities and characters she is uncovering. \nRosanna studied Geography at Emmanuel College\, Cambridge\, and has worked since the late 1980s as an acupuncturist. She practises in Cambridge\, lives in Ely\, and her book about her unusual childhood and its cultural influences\, Songs from the Suitcase: Inhabiting an Inheritance\, just came off the press.

SUMMARY:[:en]Remembering the past for the future[:ru]Вспоминая прошлое ради будущего[:]
DESCRIPTION:Capt Rolfe Monteith\, 2018  \nAn evening of memories with two veterans of the Second World War\, Admiral Robert Stephens and Captain Rolfe Monteith and\, who will be in informal conversation with military historian Major General (retired) Mungo Melvin CB OBE. \nThis is a unique opportunity to meet these incredible gentlemen – survivors and witnesses of some of the turning points in world history. They both joined the Canadian navy on the same day as the outbreak of the Second World War as teenagers and served in the Canadian and then British forces through the major part of their lives. \nVice-Admiral Robert Stephens\, 2018 \nCaptain Rolfe Monteith went to Murmansk in 1943 as part of the Arctic Convoy mission. After graduating from the Royal College of Defence Studies as a senior officer\, he realised that he was not keen to continue his military mission\, so he resigned and settled in the UK with his family. Since then he has travelled the world on behalf of British industry and has become a member of the Russian Arctic Convoy Association. \nAdmiral Robert Stephens went to Murmansk in 1943 also served in the Korean War in 1951. He worked on the construction of nuclear submarines\, headed Mechanical and Electrical at Naval Headquarters in Ottawa\, Canada at HMC Dockyard in Halifax before being made a Commander of Training Command at Winnipeg\, Manitoba and finally appointed as Canadian representative to NATO. \nBoth warriors had to face many challenges of the 20th century across the borders. They chose Britain to be their second home and now approaching their 95th anniversaries\, will be looking back to the most vivid encounters of their life journeys: sharing personal experiences of joy and sadness; fame and failures; paying tribute to their brothers in arms and dear friends – for further generations to learn and fall back on while facing the challenges of a new century. \nThere will be also an opportunity to view original drawings by Feliks Topolski\, who \nFeliks Topolski – Archangel 1941 \naccompanied the first British convoy to Archangel in the summer of 1941 as a Polish war artist. He later became a British citizen and an acclaimed expressionist artist. His family kindly agreed to lend this collection for one evening for display during the CamRuSS event. \nThis event is dedicated to Remembrance Day. \n‘Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.’ Albert Einstein\, 1930 \nBy Grigoriy Boyarov\, 2018
