Subject: Important talk this evening, about Solovki
Dear All,
I have just received this message, from a knowledgeable friend, absurdly
late in the day. I have seen Yury Brodski's book, and it is outstanding.
Unfortunately, I have already arranged something else for this evening.
Do go if you can!

All the best,
Robert

> Dear Robert,
>
> A friend of mine of the past 25 years or so is suddenly in London and
speaking at an exhibition of his work. This is the noted historian of the
Solovki and leading (non-portrait) photographer Yuri Brodski. He has
written a book (full of superb photographs) which Moscow Patriarchate are
determined to suppress called "Solovki: twenty years of a hard labour camp"
and great efforts are being made on all fronts to find a publisher for it
(in Russian) outside the RF.
>
> And an English edition is devoutly to be wished.
>
> The event, an illustrated talk by him, is being held on Thursday at 7.00
p.m. (doors open 6.30) at Rossotrudnichestvo, 1st floor 37 Kensington High
Street (Church St. end, opposite Royal Garden Hotel). Is there any chance
that you might be able to attend?
