Books to Read — Six Modern Russian Writers You Shouldn't Ignore, Part 1

Описание: Six Russian authors. One of the writers presumably doesn’t even exist or isn’t longer alive. Watch the video to learn about contemporary books you can read either in Russian or in English. They tell stories about the blue lard, the house that should be edited, mutated creatures, the handsome aristocrat and other striking things.

My name is Irene, I’m Russian. I'd like to challenge national stereotypes and to tell you the truth about my country 'cause I really love it. I've been working with Russian texts for 9 years, now I'm the editor-in-chief, so I'd be delighted to help you learn Russian. In order to talk to you on an equal footing, I've mastered English. I passed the Cambridge English Exam — CAE (C1 Advanced) — and I was awarded Grade A that proves my C2 level.
