Russia is ready to contribute to the publication of a series of books of modern Russian literature in the languages of India and to participate in other projects to promote the work of contemporary Russian writers in the country. The deputy head of the Federal Press and Mass Media Agency of Russia Vladimir Grigoryev voiced these intentions in the interview with TASS.

The representative of Rospechat took part in the opening of the Russian pavilion at the International Kolkata Book Fair, where for the first time Russia was endowed with the special status of a “theme country”. According to Grigoryev, Rospechat intends to work with Indian translators and publishers to produce a book series of contemporary Russian writers.

The agency’s deputy director recalled that in Soviet times, Moscow helped translate the works of Russian classics for the Indian reader, inviting translators from India to Russia to work together. According to Grigoriev, it makes sense to use that experience today, this will allow countries to better know and understand each other.

Russkiy Mir reported that about a thousand new books were presented in the Russian pavilion at the exhibition in Kolkata. Expositions and meetings with famous writers are also scheduled to take place there.

In the book, Marco recounts his personal odyssey, narrating each stage of his life as a foreigner in Russia—starting from the initial fascination to the process of cultural assimilation, venturing into business, fostering authentic friendships, and ultimately, reaching a deep sense of identifying as a Russian at his very core.
