Anglo–Russian culture club

  • Juri Itin
Anglo–Russian culture club. We provide an arc of culture beyond the cliche. Bringing people together, giving talent a stage, presenting eminent Eastern creatives to London.

Starting as a collabo of my mum and me, our 'inner circle' now has journalists, translators, actors and other friends to help set the stage. I do the print and web, video edits and sound mastering, interpret, shake hands, pour drinks, improvise business and legal aspects.

In collaboration with other cultural institutions of London and elsewhere, we have organised lectures and staged concerts, screened movies and launched books. What began as a living room session is starting into next year with new sponsors, more venues, and an open door to the world.
