Dear Friends and Members,
Just a quick note to let you know that Leonid Gamburg's book, which offers
a unique Russian insight into the British attitude to sport and how it has
influenced our culture, will be on sale tonight (in hardback) at his talk
in Pushkin House at the amazing price of £10. (His talk will be in
Russian.)
Don't forget also the special members' preview tonight of the unique Brest
Fortress exhibition from 6 pm onwards, before Leonid's talk, with the
Belarus Ambassador in attendance. Drinks will be provided.
Also, a reminder that the premiere of the Brest Fortress film tomorrow
night at 7 pm, with a short address by representatives of the Brest
Fortress Museum, will have English subtitles. The film is brand new and
has never been shown in the UK before, and it has had rave reviews in
Russia. (Tickets £5 to our members, as usual.)
Hope to see you at these two great occasions, which mark the end of our
Winter/Spring Session.
Kindest regards to all,
David Holohan.
