The Institute of Foreign Languages will be hosting a special event of the week for international exchange students and everyone who are interested in contemporary Russian literature and good writing.
Our special guest will be Natasha Perova, the editor of Glas New Russian Writing journal, that for over 25 years has been a comprehensive source on contemporary Russian literature in translation.
‘Glas is a first-rate series, well planned and very well translated. Anyone interested in Russia and good writing should seek it out.’
