“Yuri Lotman in My Life” with Marina Sonkina
On February 4, there will be an online meeting with Marina Sonkina Yuri Lotman in My Life. Marina’s mother, Faina, was a fellow student of Yuri Lotman at the Faculty of Philology of Leningrad State University, maintained relations with him for many years, and later co-authored with her daughter the book Yuri Lotman in My Life. Memories. Diaries. Letters.
“It was not without hesitation that I decided to publish my mother’s memoirs and diaries as well as the letters that she had been exchanging with Yuri Lotman for several decades. The feeling that connected these two people, so extraordinary in its intensity and unabated mutual admiration and trust, played a huge role in their lives. As Lotman once wrote: ‘History passes through the homes and private lives of its participants’. Lotman’s ideas continue to live on in the pages of his books. But his remarkable personality, his wit, his warmth, his kindness, his selfless magnanimity and courage in trying circumstances, are not available to people who didn’t know him. As a homage to Yuri Lotman, my teacher and mentor, I wanted this manuscript to see the world. The book has been on the list of bestsellers since its publication. Our family archive contains autographs of Lotman’s letters, numerous photographs and book dedications that I will be happy to share with you during my talk.” — Marina Sonkina.
