On 26th May 2024, we hosted a fascinating art presentation and discussion with **Pavel Otdelnov**, one of the most prominent modern Russian artists.

Otdelnov’s diverse body of work spans painting, drawing, video, and installations, exploring critical themes such as **urban space, environment, Soviet history**, and **historical memory**. During the event, Pavel presented a digital showcase of his recent works, prompting an engaging conversation on his artistic perspective. Key topics included **Russia’s post-Cold War ressentiment**, the complex nostalgia for the Soviet Union, and the impact of the **ongoing war in Ukraine** on cultural narratives.

The discussion and subsequent **Q&A session** were led by our Cultural Events Secretary, Artemii Levkoy, offering attendees a unique opportunity to engage directly with Pavel’s ideas and themes.
