  • RUSSIA's OPEN BOOK: WRITING in the AGE of PUTIN PREMIERES DECEMBER 2013 ACROSS DIGITAL and BROADCAST PLATFORMS Actor Stephen
    RUSSIA’S OPEN BOOK: WRITING IN THE AGE OF PUTIN PREMIERES DECEMBER 2013 ACROSS DIGITAL AND BROADCAST PLATFORMS Actor Stephen Fry Hosts New Documentary Film November 6, 2013 – New York, New York – Some of the greatest literary achievements of the 19th and 20th century are Russian: Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and Solzhenitsyn’s One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Readers in the West may have stopped hearing about Russian literature after the USSR collapsed, but that doesn’t mean the Russians stopped writing. RUSSIA’S OPEN BOOK: WRITING IN THE AGE OF PUTIN, directed by Paul Mitchell (Putin, Russia and The West) and Sarah Wallis (We Were Young and at War) asks the question: Who is the new Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, or Gogol waiting to be discovered by the English-speaking world? A co-production of Intelligent Television and Wilton Films, RUSSIA’S OPEN BOOK will premiere nationally on PBS member stations beginning in New York on THIRTEEN on Saturday, December 28 (check local listings for additional PBS airdates). The Intelligent Channel (INT.), YouTube’s new online platform for enlightening nonfiction programming, will preview the PBS premiere with a digital showcase beginning on Friday, December 13. The producers and THIRTEEN will partner on developing a national outreach campaign to local PBS stations to promote audience discussions at leading universities nationwide. PBS Distribution will manage ancillary sales of RUSSIA’S OPEN BOOK to consumer and educational markets. To view the trailer for RUSSIA’S OPEN BOOK: http://youtu.be/nUPNbUlp6HA.

  • The Naming of the Permian System
    Research article Journal of the Geological Society Published Online First https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2021-037 The naming of the Permian System Michael J. Benton1* and Andrey G. Sennikov2 1 School of Earth Sciences, Life Sciences Building, University of Bristol, Tyndall Avenue, Bristol BS8 1TQ, UK 2 Borissiak Paleontological Institute RAS, Profsoyuznaya Street 123, Moscow 117647, Russia MJB, 0000-0002-4323-1824 * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The naming of the Permian by Roderick Murchison in 1841 is well known. This is partly because he ‘completed’ the stratigraphic column at the system level, but also because of the exotic aspects of his extended fieldwork in remote parts of Russia and his reputed character. Here, we explore several debated and controversial aspects of this act, benefiting from access to documents and reports from Russian sources. Murchison or Sedgwick could have provided a name for the unnamed lower New Red Sandstone in 1835 based on British successions or those in Germany, so perhaps the imperial aim of naming time from British geology was not the urgent task some have assumed. Murchison has been painted as arrogant and imperialistic, which was doubtless true, but at the time many saw him as a great leader, even an attractive individual. Others suggest he succeeded because he stood on the shoulders of local geologists; however, his abilities of brilliant and rapid geological synthesis are undoubted. Two unexpected consequences of his work are that this arch-conservative is revered in Russia as a hero of geological endeavours and, for all his bombast, his ‘Permian’ was not widely accepted until 100 years after its naming.

  • LAURUS Eugene Vodolazkin Translated by Lisa Hayden
    Winner of two of the most prestigious Russian literary prizes: THE BIG BOOK PRIZE & THE YASNAYA POLYANA AWARD LAURUS Eugene Vodolazkin Translated by Lisa Hayden Published by Oneworld 29 October 2015 | Hardback £14.99 ‘Vodolazkin succeeds in walking a thin line, achieving a fine balance between the ancient and archaic, and the ultra-modern; between the ironic and the tragic' TIME OUT MOSCOW ‘Unobtrusively translated, the novel's narration flows limpidly, touching humane depths…Vodolazkin handles his long, unpredictable, sometimes-mystical saga and its diverse content with confident purpose… With flavors of Umberto Eco and The Canterbury Tales… affecting, idiosyncratic…. an impressive achievement’ KIRKUS ‘A uniquely lavish, multi-layered work…with the rapturous energy of Dostoevsky’s spiritual obsessions.’ BOOKLIST It is the late fifteenth century in rural Russia, a time of plague and pestilence. A young orphan lives by the forest with his elderly grandfather, the local healer. From him he learns the secrets of herbs and remedies, and soon follows in the old man's footsteps. But this knowledge proves powerless to save his beloved, who dies in childbirth. Overcome with guilt and seeking redemption, he embarks on a journey through plague- ridden Europe, offering his healing powers wherever he goes. But this is no ordinary journey: it is one that spans ages and countries, and brings him face-to-face with a host of unforgettable characters and legendary creatures from the strangest medieval bestiaries. Now old, and having addressed his wrongs, he returns to his home village to live out his days as a hermit – not realizing that it is here that he will face his most difficult trial yet.

  • 5 Maguire Paper with Images
    Climbing the Mountain and Crossing the Wall: Politically Sensitive Post-Soviet Women’s Literature in Translation Muireann Maguire Introduction Women translators have dominated the transmission of Russian literature to Anglophone audiences1. The self-taught and prolific Constance Garnett translated Tolstoy, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and many others in the early twentieth century; her successors (including Rosemary Edmonds, Margaret Wettlin, and Elizaveta Fen) were commissioned to produce new versions of the same classics Garnett had originally introduced to British readers. Many, if not most, Russian-English literary translators active today are female; Marian Schwartz, Rosamund Bartlett, and Bela Shayevich are among the best-known contemporary translators from Russian. Since the days of Edmonds and Fen, translators are no longer primarily engaged in (re-)rendering literary fiction already acknowledged as canonical; now they are equally likely to introduce contemporary authors or previously untranslated work by famous writers to the reading public. Given their well-established historical precedent as mediators of Russian identity, it is unsurprising that Western female translators should use their skills and experience to promote female Russian-language authors abroad. However well-known the latter may be at home, most Russian authors struggle to generate name recognition in the infamously Anglocentric English-language publishing world. Even Ludmila Ulitskaya, the most acclaimed female novelist of her generation in Russia, is known abroad primarily to academics and metropolitan elites; from a publisher’s perspective, Ulitskaya is no Sally Rooney. This essay will contrast the translation and reception of two controversial Russian-language novels by female authors. It asks whether otherness, or cultural difference, enables or compromises the commercial success of a translation; and also how translators choose to mediate this difference.

He is the author of Solzhenitsyn, A Biography (1984), which won the Los Angeles Times Award for best biography in the USA and the English PEN Centre’s Silver Pen Award for biography in the UK, and, most recently, Koestler: The Literary and Political Odyssey of a Twentieth Century Skeptic (2010), which won the PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for the best biography in the USA, and the Spears Magazine Award for best biography in the UK. He is also the editor of Russia’s Other Writers (1971), Unofficial Art from the Soviet Union (1977), and The Solzhenitsyn Files (1995).

His work has appeared in the New York Review of Books, AGNI, and Harper’s. In 1972, Scammell founded Index on Censorship, for which he served as editor until 1981. He received his B.A. from Nottingham University and a Ph.D. from Columbia University, where he now teaches nonfiction writing. What did you want to be when you grew up? A soccer player. Why? I grew up in working class England, and sport seemed the obvious route to fame and riches. My father was a good amateur soccer player and we kids spent all of our waking hours playing soccer, listening to soccer on the radio, and occasionally getting taken to a professional game on a Saturday.

We firmly believe in sustainability investing, and think all the stars are aligned for this investment discipline. From a bottom-up perspective, sustainability is clearly changing markets. The environment in which companies operate is very different from 20 years ago. Climate change, resource scarcity, pollution and the working conditions in emerging countries are all trends that affect companies, as well as provide opportunities for new markets. However, they also present risks as they are changing the regulatory landscape, altering consumer behavior and, in many cases, increasing costs. Moreover, clients are increasingly looking to create more sustainable portfolios to meet the demands of their sponsors, participants and regulators. And then there is the socioeconomic perspective and the many global challenges faced by our generation. While prioritizing growth above issues such as climate change risks may yield better returns in the short term, the long-term prospects for such a strategy may be less rosy.

Descendant of an old noble family, Bunin spent his childhood and youth in the Russian provinces. He began publishing poems and short stories in 1887. In the mid-1890s he gradually entered the Moscow and St. Petersburg literary scenes, including the growing Symbolist movement. However, Bunin’s work had more in common with the traditions of clas- sical Russian literature of the 19th century, of which his older contemporaries Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov were models.
