For years, his writing has shaped the global debate on totalitarianism, memory \u2014 or rather historical oblivion \u2014 and responsibility. Following Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the author openly condemned the Kremlin\u2019s actions, becoming one of the most outspoken Russian critics of war and authoritarianism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international press has repeatedly highlighted the uniqueness of his voice. The prestigious The New York Review of Books wrote that, since the days of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Russia has not produced a writer so intensely focused on his country\u2019s history and its imprint on the collective consciousness. Many literary scholars also regard him as a serious contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the lecture, Sergei Lebedev will speak about memory, repression, and the unspoken crimes of the Soviet era, as well as the ways in which an unresolved past continues to shape contemporary Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We warmly invite you to this unique meeting with a writer whose voice \u2014 both literary and moral \u2014 carries global significance today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
