Story

Pushkin House is a Registered Charity owned and run by the Pushkin House Trust. We support and promote the splendour, richness and beauty of Russian culture in London and beyond. Pushkin House was established to serve as a home for high quality Russian culture in all its forms. Providing a focus for Anglo-Russian cultural exchange, education and information about the Russian language, arts, literature and music, we offer a resource for individuals and institutions alike.

In pursuit of these aims, Pushkin House has developed a lively and varied cultural programme on Russian literature, art, film, music, theatre and dance, as well as history, philosophy and politics. Events include lectures and talks, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, films, concerts and readings.

The House also has its own reference library of Russian culture.

Besides its own events, Pushkin House welcomes and encourages collaboration with other institutions and groups dedicated to Russian culture. The House currently hosts lectures run by the Pushkin Club and the GB-Russia Society. Regular Russian language courses are provided by the Russian Language Centre. Creative partnerships are being established with major museums and libraries in Russia.

Mission

Established in 1954 by Maria Zernova and friends for 'the enjoyment of Russian culture in all forms, with freedom of speech a core principle.'
