In the space of the Shredder House, an intellectual evening will take place, combining a lecture on samizdat in the USSR and a chamber concert dedicated to Joseph Brodsky. Guests can expect a deep immersion into the cultural era where typewriters, carbon paper, and stitched sheets became symbols of freedom of thought. In the first part of the evening, guests will learn how samizdat became a form of resistance and at the same time a way to preserve the integrity of art. The texts published by it became not only a challenge to censorship but also a cultural heritage that influenced entire generations. The lecture will illuminate important aspects of this phenomenon, including the problems faced by authors and the impact of samizdat on modern cultural perception. The second part of the evening is a concert by Natalia Gonokhova "Brodski. I was happy here, but I will no longer be." The program includes songs based on the poet's verses, reflections on his fate, exile, and unbroken spirit. The deep and poignant voice of the performer will allow one to feel every line.
