Registration REQUIRED by 4pm on April 23, 2026 in order to attend this event.
Please join the Harriman Institute and the Department of Slavic Languages for an evening with Evgenia Nekrasova. Moderated by Mark Lipovetsky.
Writer Evgenia Nekrasova will draw on her own texts to explore how Russian cities and settlements—their architecture, mythology, and natural landscapes—function not only as settings, but as independent characters in their own right.
This event will be conducted in Russian.
