Vladimir Nabokov is politically relevant again. In the last decade, the theme of immigration and dissent in Russia has become as important as it was half a century ago before the Soviet Iron Curtain fell in the late 1980s.
In her lecture, Nina Khrushcheva talks about Vladimir Nabokov’s enduring influence on Russian literature and politics.
In the extended Q&A session, Nina Khrushcheva addresses questions about “Lolita,” Nabokov’s literary legacy in modern Russia, and his wife, Véra.
