Productions: The Story of Russian Literature

For centuries, Russian literature, reform, and revolution have always been intertwined. The sheer size of Russia, its brutal climate, the violence of its history, and the heroism and genius of its people all have contributed to a world of literature like no other.

"The Story of Russian Literature" film and online environment explore that spellbinding literary culture and history. Throughout that exploration, we ask, where is the new Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, or Gogol, waiting to be discovered by the English-speaking world?

The project draws extensively on library and archival holdings in Russia and the West including at Mosfilm, Gosteleradiofond, the New York Public Library, Columbia University's Bakhmetyeff Archive, and in other special collections.

Supported by the Russian Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communication, and produced in association with Wilton Films, the film premieres in 2012.
