SUMMARY:[:en]CamRuSS Cambridge Art Initiative: Sketch Walk[:]
DESCRIPTION:The CamRuSS Cambridge Art Initiative warmly invites you to an exclusive three-hour sketch walk through central Cambridge\, led by a professional artist. \nThis mentored workshop is designed to unlock your creative potential\, develop your drawing skills\, and enhance well-being through mindful observation and artistic practice.

You will learn the fundamental principles of translating a complex three-dimensional urban scene onto paper\, bridging theory and practice through hands-on experience. These techniques will help you sketch with greater confidence\, accuracy\, and speed\, while transforming the way you see your surroundings. \nResearch shows that drawing encourages deeper observation and stronger memory formation.

SUMMARY:[:en]Vasily Grossman After Life and Fate with Robert Chandler[:ru]Василий Гроссман после «Жизни и судьбы» — лекция Роберта Чандлера[:]
DESCRIPTION:Grossman’s grave at the Troekurovskoye Cemetery\, Moscow (from Robert Chandler’s personal archive)  \nVasily Grossman may always be best known as the author of his two great novels centered on the Battle of Stalingrad. His last\, shorter works\, however\, are equally remarkable. If Stalingrad and Life and Fate are comparable to Shostakovich’s symphonies\, the short novel Everything Flows and the stories Grossman wrote in his last three years are like Shostakovich’s quartets—more concise\, more enigmatic\, more abrupt in their transitions of tone and subject matter. The short novel Everything Flows is a quarter of the length of Life and Fate\, but its historical and moral scope is still broader.\nThe story “The Road” (1961–62)—the long winter campaign culminating in the Battle of Stalingrad told from the perspective of an Italian artillery battery mule—is a poetic distillation of Life and Fate. “Mama”—based on the real-life story of the adopted daughter of Nikolay Yezhov\, head of the NKVD at the height of the Purges—takes us still deeper into the heart of evil. Once again\, though\, the perspective is unusual. We see Yezhov from the perspective of a small\, loving girl and her peasant nanny\, who has no understanding of the mass murders being carried out in the country but who feels pity for Yezhov\, thinking that “his eyes looked confused\, pathetic\, lost.”\nThree of these last stories contain pointed repetitions of the phrase life and fate. The words are like markers—or like tolling bells\, telling the reader how much the loss of his great novel dominates Grossman’s thoughts. \nWhen: Wednesday\, 24 September\, 18:30-20:00 (BST)\nWhere: Trinity Hall\, Main Lecture Theatre\, Trinity Lane\, Cambridge CB2 1TJ\nLanguage: English\nFormat: In-person & Online via Zoom\nIn-person tickets: £9 – Standard\, £6 – CamRuSS Members and Concessions\nZoom tickets: £5 – Standard\, free – CamRuSS Members\, and Students\nAccess to the video recording is included with all ticket purchases\nVideo recording only: £5\, free – CamRuSS Members\nThis event will be followed by a drinks reception.\nPlease book via AllEvents \nRobert Chandler (right)\, Grossman’s daughter Katya Korotkova-Grossman (center)\, and the Italian scholar Pietro Tosco (left) at a Grossman conference in Moscow\, 2014 (from Robert Chandler’s personal archive). \nRobert Chandler first began learning Russian at the age of 15. At 20\, he spent a year in Voronezh as a British Council Exchange scholar—the city where Andrey Platonov was born and where Osip Mandelstam was exiled. It was there that he first read these two writers\, who have remained central to his work and life.\nAmong the many authors he has translated are Sappho\, Apollinaire\, Alexander Pushkin\, Teffi\, Andrey Platonov\, Vasily Grossman\, the Uzbek novelist Hamid Ismailov\, and the underappreciated poet Lev Ozerov\, a Russophone Jew from Ukraine. Chandler has also edited and co-translated three anthologies for Penguin Classics: of Russian poetry\, Russian short stories\, and further Russian poetry.\nIn addition to his translation work\, he runs workshops in London\, teaches at an annual summer school\, and has mentored younger translators. Before committing to translation full-time\, he worked for eight years as a teacher of the Alexander Technique—a discipline focused on voice\, breath\, and movement.

SUMMARY:[:en]A Magic Mirror. An Evening of Poetry with Julia Nemirovskaya[:ru]Волшебное зеркало. Вечер поэзии с Юлией Немировской[:]
DESCRIPTION:An inspiring evening with renowned US-based poet\, writer and literary scholar Julia Nemirovskaya\, featuring readings\, and discussions on Moscow’s New Wave poets\, as well as reflections on the creative process\, and an audience Q&A. \nJulia teaches and directs student theater at the University of Oregon (UO)\, and will be visiting Cambridge from the United States. \n \nBoris Dralyuk\, a distinguished writer\, editor\, and translator\, has offered profound insights into Julia Nemirovskaya’s poetry. \n“The moment I first encountered the poems of Julia Nemirovskaya\, I felt I had acquired a magical mirror – a mirror that promised to reveal\, with striking clarity\, traits of my own personality that I had barely glimpsed before. I saw a version of myself in her lyrics and heard a version of my voice; but the self was brighter and better\, the voice gentler yet surer than the one I was used to. After a decade of living with Julia’s poems\, I have come to appreciate the degree to which the process of translating them has helped me become that better self and find that surer voice… I hope my translations will do the same for other readers.” \nWhen: Friday 21 February 2025 19:00-21:00 (doors at 18:30)\nWhere: Main Lecture Theatre\, Trinity Hall\, Trinity Lane\, Cambridge CB2 1TJ\nLanguage: English with some poetry read in original Russian\nFormat: in person and online via Zoom\nTickets in person: £8 standard / £5 CamRuSS members & concessions;\nZoom: £5 standard\, free for CamRuSS members & students.\nAccess to video recording: free for CamRuSS members\, £5 for others\, incl. students.\nPlease book via AllEvents\nThis event will be followed by drinks reception. \nJulia Nemirovskaya \nJulia Nemirovskaya is a poet\, prose writer\, and literary scholar.

SUMMARY:[:en]“The Centenary of Bulat Okudzhava”: Evening of Songs and Music in the open air[:ru]Столетие Булата Окуджавы - вечер песни и поэзии под открытым небом[:]
DESCRIPTION:This year\, we shall commemorate the centenary of Bulat Okudzhava (9th May 1924 – 12th June 1997)\, a Soviet singer and song-writer\, poet\, and author\, whose songs and poems had a profound impact on generations of the Soviet intelligentsia\, since the early 1960s up to the 1990s. Full of meaning\, reflection\, sublime feelings and dignity\, yet describing everyday life with honesty and no traditional Soviet pathos\, his songs struck a chord with people of all ages and were sung to the guitar almost at every party\, in the kitchen or around a bonfire. Okudzhava became a moral compass for many in the age of official hypocrisy and meaningless\, empty slogans. His songs exuded warmth and brought people together. \nWe would like invite everyone\, who wishes to sing a few songs by Okudzhava or play the guitar\, or recite a poem\, or say a few words\, to get in touch with Tanya Yurasova via WhatsApp 0781 510 1481. We shall then add you to the group of performers. (It is very informal\, but the aim is to draft a certain programme\, for consistency and to avoid repetition.) \nEveryone is invited to come and join us! \nWHEN: Saturday\, 29 June\, 18:30 (BST)\nWHERE: Midsummer Common – on the field opposite Fort St. George Pub\, Cambridge CB5 8DR \nWe shall get together on our favourite vast green field\, Midsummer Common\, not far from the river and the pub Fort St.George – same place as our traditional “White Nights”. \nPlease bring rugs and/or foldable chairs for comfort! Also don’t forget umbrellas and raincoats in case it rains. \nYou may like to come with your own beer or other drinks and picnic (or you could choose to buy drinks in the nearby pub). Guitars\, of course\, are paramount! \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:[:en]Cambridge Treasure Hunt - 2023[:ru]Поиск сокровищ в Кембридже - 2023[:]
DESCRIPTION:A team-based walking adventure exploring the city (created by Tanya Yurasova* and Sayara Thompson). \nHow well do you know Cambridge? How observant are you? To find out\, please join us for our fun “treasure hunt”! The “treasures” are not real\, of course – they are merely some of the buildings and lanes of Cambridge that you’ll need to identify from photographs and find in the city centre in order to answer a number of questions. After a brisk stroll around the city\, we’ll meet to name the winners and celebrate! \nWhen: Sunday 17 September\, 3:00 – 5:30 pm (BST) \nWhere: Outdoors (please dress accordingly) \nMeeting point (start and finish): By The Round Church\, Bridge Street\, Cambridge CB2 1UF. \nLanguage: Russian/English. You only need to be able to speak one of the two languages in order to take part; all questions will be in Russian and English. Bring along your Russian- or English-speaking friends\, colleagues and family members! \nCambridge Treasure Hunt. Image courtesy of Sayara Thompson \nTeams of 4 people.

Please pay with cash at the event. \nRegistration is required. Please register by filling in this form as soon as you can\, but no later than Friday 15 September: https://forms.gle/2fLfcoYNvEDdmjZe7 \nCambridge Treasure Hunt. Image courtesy of Sayara Thompson \nWhat is it? The “treasures” are visual – they are sights in central Cambridge; you will need to spot them from photos\, find them\, and answer some short questions. The idea is NOT to check your knowledge of Cambridge\, but to have fun in pleasant company\, enjoy the scenery\, and possibly learn a few interesting facts. Hence\, please bring along your smartphones – you will be allowed to use Google! By the way\, please don’t be misled by the picture – it is only an illustration. We are not revealing the real questions to you! \n* Tanya Yurasova is a qualified green-badge Cambridge guide. Please see what guided city tours she offers here: https://tancam.uk/tours

SUMMARY:[:en]A Conversation with Boris Akunin – Russia: Its Past\, Present and Future (in Russian)[:ru]Разговор с Борисом Акуниным — Россия: Прошлое\, настоящее и будущее[:]
DESCRIPTION:In the first two decades of the twenty-first century\, Chkhartishvili published over sixty books. His series featuring the tsarist secret policeman Erast Fandorin has sold over 20 million books in Russia alone\, making Akunin one of the bestselling authors of the post-Soviet era. Combining intertextuality\, allusions\, pastiche\, and other markers of postmodern playfulness\, many of Akunin’s works have been translated into English and have also been adapted for film and television. \nChkhartishvili is also known as a prominent critic of the Russian authorities\, Vladimir Putin in particular\, and was one of the leaders of the 2011-12 protests in Moscow. He emigrated from Russia in 2014 in the wake of the annexation of Crimea\, and now spends most of his time abroad. \nFor the last ten years\, Grigorii Chkhartishvili has focused on his big project\, “The History of the Russian State”\, which\, he claims\, is “non-ideological”\, based solely on facts. Each of the nine volumes is accompanied by a book of fiction set in the same period\, where numerous allusions to modern Russia are easily recognisable. No wonder that the topic of our conversation with the author is “Russia: Its Past\, Present and Future”. \nOur conversation with Boris Akunin will be led by Dr Jana Howlett\, Emerita Lecturer in Slavonic Studies at the University of Cambridge and Emerita Fellow of Jesus College. Jana is a historian specialising in medieval and modern Russian art and culture. \nAll proceeds will be split between the fundraising campaign “Настоящая Россия” (“True Russia Against the War”) and our own charity’s new dedicated fund to provide targeted help for those fleeing the war in Ukraine and their host families. \nWHEN: Friday 29 April\, 18:00 – 20:00 \nWHERE: Paula Browne House Lecture Theatre\, Murray Edwards College\, Huntingdon Road\, Cambridge CB3 0SH \nLANGUAGE: Russian \nTICKETS: CamRuSS members / Concessions (Students\, Children under 16\, Senior Citizens) – £15; Non-members – £20. Book via AllEvents only. \nRead and listen to Boris Akunin’s recent interview (17 March 2022) with BBC News – Русская служба here. \nYou might also be interested to watch “Mysteries of the Russian Empire: Boris Akunin in conversation with Boyd Tonkin” (hosted by the British Library) via YouTube here. \nView Boris Akunin’s personal website and (now archived) personal blog. \nBoris Akunin’s books are available to buy on Amazon and at Waterstones\, among many others. \nBoris Akunin appeared on “World Book Club” on the BBC World Service in 2011. Listen via BBC Sounds here.

SUMMARY:[:en]Member of the Family or Barbarian at the Gate? Russia and the West by Sir Tony Brenton[:ru]Член семьи или варвар у ворот? Россия и Запад - сэр Тони Брентон[:]
DESCRIPTION:Russian bear  \nThroughout its history Russia has oscillated on the edge of Europe\, from being an insider (as under Peter and Catherine) to being a clear outsider (as under Communism). At the end of the Cold War Gorbachev set Russia on course to become part of a “Common European Home”. But relations are now\, once again\, icy. Sir Tony Brenton looks at what has gone wrong\, and where we might be going. \nSir Tony Brenton \nSIR TONY BRENTON KCMG worked for 30 years for the Foreign Office. \nHe first learnt Arabic and spent three years in Cairo working on the Middle East Dispute. \nFrom 1980-1989 he handled European matters in London and in Brussels\, working on energy issues and the birth of European environment policy. Back in London he ran UN issues in the Foreign Office and took charge of preparation for the 1992 ‘Earth Summit’\, which achieved the first global agreement on Climate Change. \nAfter a year at Harvard (writing a book about international environment policy – ‘The Greening of Machiavelli’)\, he learnt Russian and spent 1994-1998 in Moscow dealing with Russian economic reform. \nAfter a further period in London on UN matters (including the establishment of the International Criminal Court)\, he was posted in 2001 to Washington dealing with the consequences of 9/11\, the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. \nIn 2004 he was posted to Moscow as Ambassador where he managed Britain’s relations with Russia during a turbulent period. \nHe was awarded a KCMG in 2007.
