About

This meeting is a rare chance to communicate with a person who turns history into living knowledge. Lev Amirhanov will talk about his new book, inspiration, and future projects. This event is for those who enjoy leisurely conversations about the past, books, people, and places that are important to remember. The Central Library named after M. Y. Lermontov invites you to a meeting with the head of the publishing house 'Ostrov', Lev Isaevich Amirhanov - a person for whom the history of his native land is not just a topic for books, but a personal mission. The event is part of a series of meetings with the publishing houses 'Ostrov' and 'Griol' and brings together everyone interested in local studies, cultural heritage, and literature created with soul. In the spotlight is the new book 'From Raivola to Roshino. Book Two. From the Beginning to the Renaming', which Amirhanov prepared in collaboration with Igor Lapin. This is not just a narrative about the transformation of one place on the map - it is a story about people, lost dachas of the Karelian Isthmus, atmospheric landscapes, and multilayered memory. Special attention is drawn to the design of the series: on the covers are works by the artist V. F. Tkachenko from the series 'Lost Dachas'. This adds an emotional dimension to the project and turns each book into an artistic object. In addition to discussing the new publication, the guest will talk about upcoming books, including: 'From Mustamäki to Gorkovskoye' by T. V. Vershinina and 'From Metsäkyla to Molodyozhnoe' by N. V. Grigorieva and T. N. Viziryako. Such publications recreate the living fabric of the past, awakening interest in places, destinies, architecture, and changes. The meeting with Lev Amirhanov will be interesting for local historians, historians, lovers of leisurely conversations, and anyone seeking meaning in details. This is an opportunity to learn how books that preserve memory are born and to ask questions to a person who cherishes that memory. Admission is free. Age restriction: 12+. Event coordinator - Urusova M. F. Where to go in St. Petersburg, we tell on our website.
