The story of Bob Dylan's visit to the USSR sounds almost like a cultural detective story. The lecture will help to see this episode through facts, people, archival finds, and unexpected details. In the summer of 1985, Bob Dylan found himself in Moscow at the Evening of World Poetry - and this visit remains one of the most mysterious episodes in the musician's biography. Why did the American rock star agree to come to the USSR? Who did he meet? Where did he go? How could a few days in Moscow and Tbilisi influence the artist's future? These questions will serve as the starting point for the lecture by Kirill Razumov, author of books on the history of rock music. Register on Timepad. We know what to see in St. Petersburg.
