A literary and musical evening in memory of Vladimir Vysotsky to take place at the National Centre RUSSIA
07.14

On July 23, the National Centre RUSSIA will host a special edition of the literary club "What to Read?!" dedicated to the 45th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Vysotsky. The evening will offer a lively and thoughtful conversation about the multifaceted work of the poet and actor, whose legacy continues to resonate with new generations.

The event will be moderated by Alexei Chesnakov, Head of the Scientific Council at the Centre for Political Conjuncture and Professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.

In the intimate atmosphere of the venue, the political scientist will guide the audience through the main milestones of the bard’s life – from his early poetic experiments and theatre work to his iconic roles in "The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed" and "Hamlet," from the early courtyard ballads to the deep philosophical lyrics of his later years.

Special attention during the evening will be paid to the literary preferences of Vladimir Vysotsky himself – the authors who inspired him, the books he took with him on tour, and the influence literature had on the development of his unique creative approach.

The evening will offer an immersion into a cultural era through the lens of literature, a heartfelt dialogue on the timeless themes in Vysotsky’s work. Attendees will have a unique opportunity to listen to rare archival recordings and become part of a warm gathering of like-minded people.

The event starts at 18:00. It will be of interest to anyone who values Russian culture of the second half of the 20th century, seeks a deeper understanding of the Vysotsky phenomenon, and is looking for intellectual engagement with a soulful atmosphere.

The literary club "What to Read?!", led by Alexei Chesnakov, is a flagship intellectual project of the National Centre RUSSIA. The meetings create a unique space for meaningful literary dialogue, combining academic depth with an engaging delivery. Each session becomes an exploration – whether it is a study of a specific author, an analysis of a literary movement, or a reflection on the role of books in the modern cultural context.

The project is designed as a platform for cultivating the culture of thoughtful reading and reflective writing, where contemporary issues are explored through the prism of literature.

Detailed information about upcoming meetings of the literary club and other educational projects can be found in the "Events" section of the official website of the National Centre RUSSIA at russia.ru.
