What Makes Russian Culture Russian?
November 9, 2015, 4:00 PM
Free
Suzanne Massie will speak about Russian cultural markers in the folk tale, folk art, and ballet. Best known for her influential book Land of the Firebird (1980), she was invited by President Ronald Reagan to be an informal advisor on Soviet relations and became a personal liaison between Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev in the late 1980s. Talk and discussion will be followed by a Russian tea in the Wormser Room.
