DESCRIPTION:Putin’s war in Ukraine has been met by outrage and disbelief
  around the world. Since the start of the war\, writers in Russia\, Ukrain
 e and the Russian diaspora have been expressing their opposition to the in
 vasion in an extraordinary outpouring of public and private poetry. The bo
 ok Disbelief presents some of the most moving and hard-hitting of these po
 ems in Russian and English. 100 poems by 70 authors\, including Polina Bar
 skova\, Tatiana Voltskaya and Mikhail Aizenberg\, can be ordered here and 
 here.\n\nIn his lectures on Vladimir Vernadsky\, Vsevelod Ivanov argued th
 at in the noosphere – the intellectual cloud around the planet – wars 
 and natural disasters create voids which must be filled by the work of poe
 ts\, artists\, musicians\, and philosophers. This powerful tragic chorus i
 s just such an attempt\, expressing a shared sense of incredulity at a war
  in the heart of twenty-first century Europe that has left millions displa
 ced and tens of thousands dead or imprisoned\; that has triggered an inter
 national economic crisis\, turned Russia into a pariah state and the Russi
 an language into a tool of cultural erasure and oppression.\n\nThe editor 
 with all five translators and some of the poets are ‘coming virtually’
  to Cambridge to tell about the project called ‘Piggy-bank’\, read a f
 ew of the original poems and their translation\, and answer questions from
  CamRuSS audience.\n\n*WHEN: 24 February 2023\, 19:00 (GMT)*\n\n*WHERE: on
