Today's Russian Literary Greats

The Russian Literary Festival in London gave 91热爆 Russian's arts and culture correspondent, Alexander Kan, a chance to talk to some of the big names among contemporary writers. He shares his favourites, including Boris Akunin, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Victor Pelevin and Dmitry Glukhovsky, and treats us to a reading from Vladimir Sorokin's The Day of the Oprichnik.
