Dmitry Bykov on post-Soviet nostalgia

[John Dunn]

Dmitrij Bykov has been publishing his verse commentaries in Novaya gazeta for some time now.  But be warned: in the on-line version, at least, they are heavily disguised by being laid out as continuous prose.  Incidentally the on-line version of Novaya gazeta now seems to be back in business.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Dmitry Bykov on post-Soviet nostalgia

Dear colleagues,

Those of you who are teaching courses on post-Soviet culture and/or  
literature, might be curious to watch Dmitry Bykov's recital of his  
amusing poetic commentary on post-Soviet nostalgia and on life in  
Russia in 2009 (this Evtushenko-like performance took place on 17.11.  
2009 in Moscow): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_E1PyEn2cI




All best,
Alexandra Smith
