A Conversation with Polina Barskova at Pushkin House

A Conversation with Polina Barskova at Pushkin House

Tue, 17 June6 : 30 PM
Location 5a Bloomsbury Square, Pushkin House

On 17 June, Pushkin House welcomes poet and scholar Polina Barskova for a conversation with Dr Susan Larsen on the cultural legacy of the Siege of Leningrad. Drawing from her acclaimed books Living Pictures and Written in the Dark, Barskova will explore how literature served both as witness and resistance during one of the darkest chapters in Soviet history.

Raised in Leningrad, Barskova uncovered forgotten voices from the Siege in archives and poetry. Her work reassembles these fragments to challenge official narratives and give space to loss, madness, and memory. A deeply personal and scholarly reflection on trauma, survival, and the ghosts that linger in language.
