2 free things to do in New York City (NYC) on Monday, April 28, 2025
All events are free unless otherwise noted.Lecture | Caught in the Imperial Trap: Nikolay Leskov’s The Enchanted Wanderer and Russia’s Colonial Ambitions (in-person and online)
An adept storyteller given to literary experimentation, Leskov is famous for his skaz artistry and highly stylized prose that playfully engages with a mixture of archaic genres. Exemplifying these distinctive qualities, The Enchanted Wanderer (1873) has another important dimension, which reveals a less recognized, but equally significant aspect of Leskov’s craft. As this talk seeks to show, the story is ideologically loaded. It captures the political challenges of its day and addresses them in a satirical mode. This tale of a roaming peasant depicts the Russian empire as a place of nonstop violence, abuse, and subjugation. Shot through with cruel conflicts of all sorts, The Enchanted Wanderer particularly foregrounds the tensions between colonizers and colonized. It portrays the “barbarous Asiatics” as a danger to the civilized world – and in this way the tale, written in the midst of the tsarist army’s conquest of Central Asia (1860s-1880s), seems to justify colonial war. Demeaning Orientalist tropes that figure in the chapters set in the Kazakh steppe seem to support this impression. And yet, as the tale unfolds, it increasingly reverses those tropes to Orientalize Russia and expose its politics of empire. This talk argues that Leskov utilized the skaz technique to compose a complex, multi-layered narrative that ultimately renders colonial ambition as a trap for the Russian nation. Reading The Enchanted Wanderer in the context of the brutal war on the empire’s periphery makes it possible to capture a moment when Russian literature, deeply implicated in the colonial pursuit, began to confront it. As the talk shows, this story marks a turning point in Leskov’s intellectual trajectory: over the two subsequent decades, he would denounce the abuse of subjugated nationalities, speak from their perspective, and rebuke Alexander III’s Russification policies. Speaker Olga Maiorova is Associate Professor of Russian Literature and History at the University of Michigan.

Book Discussion | To Go On Living: Short Stories on the Irreversible Impact of War on Humans
Wars affect human life in the profoundest and most irreversible ways. How does one reconcile the pain of witnessing, survival, and loss? Armenian writer Narine Abgaryan’s short story collection sets out to explore potential answers. Unfolding in an Armenian mountain village in the immediate aftermath of the 1990s Nagorno-Karabakh War, the thirty-one short stories trace the interconnected lives and struggles of villagers who tend to their everyday tasks, engage in quotidian squabbles, and celebrate small joys against a breathtaking landscape.
