Production Description

A Russian poet condemns her country’s war on Ukraine
Available online from Monday, 29 August 2022 at 6.00pm

Poems by Tatiana Voltskaya.
Translated into English by John Farndon with Larissa Itina.
Performed by Kristin Milward.
Presented by Marricdale Productions in association with Athena Stevens and Neil McPherson for the Finborough Theatre as part of #FinboroughFrontier.

“Russia will be abolished. Together with Pushkin and Tolstoy.
When the smoke over Ukraine
Dissipates,
Only the ruins
Of our realm will show.”

So writes Tatiana Voltskaya – one of Russia’s leading poets, winner of the Pushkin Prize and many other awards. Since February 2022, she has in exile in Georgia where she has been writing an extraordinary series of poems about Russia’s war on Ukraine.

These war poems don’t just protest against Putin’s war – they are a lacerating condemnation of her entire country. A howl of rage and pain about what the Russian people have enabled.
