Russia through the Eyes of Russian Writers

For several centuries, Russian writers have created an accurate image of Russia in their works. They spoke of their homeland with both admiration and pain, believing in its better future. “No one can do without Russia,” noted Ivan Turgenev. In... this collection, our interlocutors will be A. Pushkin, A. Radishchev, N. Gogol, L. Tolstoy, A. Chekhov, I. Shmelev, D. Likhachev, A. Solzhenitsyn… What kind of Russia emerges from the pages of their writings? It is a country that is both rebellious and humble, both poor and rich, and, of course, stunningly beautiful in its nature. We will visit the most secluded corners of our homeland, meet its people, traditions, everyday life, shrines, weekdays and holidays, walk through its streets and see what the breadth of the Russian soul consists of.
