Mikhail Shishkin is one of contemporary Russian literature's most celebrated prose writers. He is in the US to mark the publication of his latest book, which will be the subject of this seminar.
Russia's war against Ukraine has been accompanied by a return to Soviet-style repression in Russia.

The panelists will discuss this campaign and the prospects for the future.
