Have you seen Philip Sotnychenko’s elusive debut LA PALISIADA (2023)? Two gunshots, separated by a quarter of a century, the film uncovers the hidden connections between the violence of the past and the present. Last chance to see La Palisiada exclusively on Klassiki ✨🎞️

Coming to the end of my first week in my ‼️new job‼️ as a Staff Writer in the @mubi Editorial Team! I feel very lucky to be working alongside the wonderful @phuonghhle @laurastaab and @Matt_Thrift every day and I’m very excited for all that’s to come 🫶
That's quite the self-own right there.
Sold my first books last night (!) and donated all proceeds to humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Which feels double-amazing! Thank you readers. 🙏🇺🇦
We did an episode on the film adaptation a while back...

The Pushkin House #shortlist for their 2024 Book Prize is out. And it's great - we've already published #longreads of three, can't wait to read the others. Start reading! themoscowtimes.com/2024/04/11/pus…
Absolutely!
In 1956, the Soviet Union became the first country to honour Robert Burns with a commemorative stamp.
A thing we learnt from @kjrothey's Moscow Prime Time: When the Red Army captured Berlin in 1945, a whole load of film prints were taken back to the USSR as "spoils of war" and shown in Soviet cinemas. The most popular of these looted movies with Soviet audiences? Tarzan films!

And it's finally here!! A whopper at 710 pages (letterbox enlarged accordingly!). Congratulations to my co-editor @Muireann (we did it!), all our contributors, and @OpenBookPublish! And remember, this beauty is free for you all to download here: openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647… Enjoy!
Once again, big quant guys, I am begging you to take area studies and cultural studies seriously. We can all be friends.
Just another plug about my podcast discussion with @fatscoleman on Rashomon, in which I raise comparisons with Lawrence Durrell's masterful literatary tetralogy The Alexandria Quartet. Was Rashomon an influence on Durrell's Justine (1957)?

Best mail is unexpected book mail! Excited for “Not Russian” by Mikhail Shevelev, a gripping, illuminating novel about recent Russian aggressions and the humans caught in the crossfire. It’s a taut, elegiac political thriller and a fierce swipe at Putin’s effort to make Russia…
Lovely sunny afternoon so I spent it inside a lovely dark cinema watching a film about facism. This one, by @markcousinsfilm and it's brilliant, go and see if you can dochouse.org/event/italian-…

If this episode has got you interested in the breadth of Kurosawa's influences & the psychological depth of his films, seek out Olga Solovieva's The Russian Kurosawa, which explores how Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Gorky and others inspired him.
