The Russian Book Club in Cambridge<\/em> is one of many initiatives of CamRuSS members. It was launched in December 2010, and was originally coordinated by Yekaterina Gorodova (2010-11), who was a constant source of inspiration, new challenges and endeavours, and the Russian literary news. Among the first members of the Club were Olga Dunstan, Tanya Yurasova, Elena Karazhova and Elena Alexander.<\/p>\n

\"Book<\/a><\/p>\n

The idea of the Club is to read books written in Russian and discuss them once a month. The meetings used to take place in one of the members\u2019 houses or in a cafe, in a warm and friendly atmosphere with tea and cake, lots of fun and sharing of deep thoughts and observations, all at the same time! In the past the Club has published a few issues of \u201cLiteraturnyi Listok<\/em>\u201d, an electronic newsletter, covering the most recent happenings in the Club and literature news in general.<\/p>\n

On the initiative of Yekaterina Gorodova and the Club members, an internationally acclaimed contemporary Russian writer, Dina Rubina<\/strong>, was invited to Cambridge, and met with the Russian-speaking community in King\u2019s College in April 2011. We also held a special meeting devoted to Pushkin\u2019s poetry<\/strong> on his anniversary on 6th June 2011. In 2012, we welcomed to Cambridge Ludmilla Ulitskaya<\/strong>, and in 2013 the Club, together with other members of CamRuSS, organised an evening of short stories with Mikhail Segal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In autumn 2011, Yelena Karl took over the coordination of the book club from Yekaterina. Then, in February 2016, Yelena passed this role to Olga Dunstan.
\nBook Club has a closed Facebook group.<\/a><\/p>\n

During lockdown (2020 – 2021) the club continued to read and discuss works by Russian and international authors online.<\/p>\n

However, in 2022, the club has ceased its activities. If there are any volunteers to revive, inspire and lead the club, we would love to hear from you!<\/strong><\/p>\n
