About

The only book in Russia about Bob Dylan, written in Russian - an occasion to meet the author. Kirill Razumov's presentation promises immersion in the atmosphere of late USSR, rare photo archives, a lively conversation, and a unique perspective on the journey of the rock music legend through Moscow and Tbilisi as seen by eyewitnesses. For the first time in the Russian cultural environment, a book dedicated to Bob Dylan is being published - not as a poet and singer known to millions, but as a traveler who visited the USSR in the mid-1980s. The author - journalist, blogger, and music researcher Kirill Razumov - presents the publication "Bob Dylan in the USSR: People, Places, Events" and invites to an open presentation meeting where he will talk about his years-long investigation, fact-finding, and personal stories. At the center of the book is Dylan's participation in the Evening of World Poetry at "Luzhniki" in 1985, his stay in Moscow, and his trip to Tbilisi. But this is not just a diary of a star's visit. It is a living chronicle of a turning point era: the twilight of late USSR, a sense of change, meetings with the cultural and political elite, rare moments of freedom and openness in a closed world. The book is based on interviews, archives, and unique photos previously unpublished anywhere. For everyone interested in the history of music, cultural connections, the perestroika era, or simply those who love interesting stories, this meeting will be a true revelation. Here you will be able to ask the author questions, learn behind-the-scenes details of the book's creation, and discuss how one person can become a mirror of time and a symbol of freedom for an entire generation. Kirill Razumov is well known for his channel "Sea. Music. Tourism" and his book "Sea, Yachts, Rock-n-Roll," which features interviews with stage stars. His style is light, engaging, yet deeply analytical. This meeting will be just like that: with humor, details, and meaning. The cozy atmosphere of the Open Lounge of the Lermontov Library will enhance the feeling of presence - as if you have entered a music club of the 1980s, where instead of a record - there is the story of an eyewitness.
