Russia at Gainsborough's House in September

Solovetsky Monastery, White Sea, Russia

On four Wednesdays following 13th September, between 10. 30 a.m. and 12.30,  I will be hosting four sessions at Gainsborough's House during which I will present four different aspects of Russian cultural life.  The format will be two themed illustrated talks/discussions on each morning, with a break for coffee and pastry midway.

The four themes are based on the Russian Church, Russian Landscape, Russian Country Houses and Dachas, and Russian resistance to autocracy from the Decembrists (1825) to the Thaw (1956/7).

I have set up a tab above 'Late Summer Russian Talks' which gives more details.

Closer to the time I will be updating the tab with further details, including some suggested reading material.

You can book for whichever session or sessions interest you, and there is a slight price reduction if you book all four.

Bookings can be made by contacting Reception at Gainsborough's House.  All proceeds will go towards the work of the museum.
