The Super-NOS Literary Festival dedicated to the highlights of the Russian contemporary literature is launched in New York. It was organised by the Harriman Institute in partnership with the Mikhail Prokhorov Charitable Foundation (founder of the NOS Prize) and the Barnard and Columbia Slavic departments. Created in 2009, the prize recognizes innovation in Russian-language literature.

Writers (including past NOS Prize winners), critics, and scholars will try to estimate the essence of the past decade in Russian literature by discussing the 10 authors who have won the prize since its inception 11 years ago. 

The festival will culminate in the selection of the decade's ultimate winner.

Italian entrepreneur Marco Maggi's book, "Russian to the Bone," is now accessible for purchase in Italy and is scheduled for release in Russia in the upcoming months. 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.
