Today in Writing History December 15, 1905: The Pushkin House was established in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to preserve the cultural heritage of Alexander Pushkin, (6/6/1799–2/10/1837). Pushkin was a Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era. He was influenced by Enlightenment writers and thinkers, like Diderot and Voltaire. He spoke out in support of social reform, and wrote poems, like “Ode to Liberty,” leading to the government exiling him from the capital. In 1920 the Pushkin House was renamed the Institute of New Russian Literature, with the main objective of preparing authoritative "academic" editions of works by Pushkin, Turgenev, Dostoevsky, and others.

I like Dostoevsky the best. Then Gogol, Bulgakov & Chernyshevsky.

Rare Editions of Pushkin Are Vanishing From Libraries Around Europe

Dozens of books have disappeared from Warsaw to Paris. Police are looking into who is taking them, and why — a tale of money, geopolitics, crafty forgers and lackluster library security.

There‘s a bunch of book thieves going around prestigious #libraries and swapping #Pushkin #FirstEditions for (so the library officials say) high quality facsimiles. The @stabi_berlin
has been targeted , also national libraries in Poland and the Baltic states.
It’s a wild story, and the forgers’ skills seem to be very remarkable.

Listening to a fascinating #conversation with Moby on the latest #BrokenRecord #podcast.

pushkin.fm/podcasts/broken-rec

#LeahRose of #Pushkin talks to #Moby about his extensive creative output, #PunkRock + #Vegan, the compulsive desire to make #music, and why he’s cut out nearly all IRL socialization as a result. Moby also #reminisces about the massive party pad he bought in upstate #NewYork that led to years of all-out #debauchery.
