P锘縧ease join us for this book launch event of 鈥袚械芯褉谐懈泄 袙谢邪写懈屑芯胁: 斜褉械屑褟 褉褘褑邪褉褋褌胁邪鈥 (Georgii Vladmov: The Burden of Chivalry), hosted by the author Dr Svetlana McMillin, Associate Professor (teaching) in Russian language.
Vladimov guessed many things of which nobody had written - the general Russian disunity, the insurmountable chasms that separate authorities and people, the superiors and the subordinates, the incarcerated and th械 jailors, those serving the regime and the ones who refuse to do it, the intelligentsia and the people.
But Vladimov's last prose, his unfinished autobiographical novel ends with the words: "Therefore, the Good does not die without a trace, but makes its circle, breaks through its inexorable way. 袗ll is not yet lost, ladies and gentlemen! Not only is it not evening yet, but it is not even dusk, and it is too early to bury our hopes鈥.
He was rarely wrong in his predictions. Let's believe him this time, too鈥.
