We are thrilled to have BBC journalist Sarah Rainsford joining us on the 25th of September at 18:30 to launch her new book, Goodbye to Russia! The book is a unique, personal insight into Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the devastating impact his rule has had on his own people and those of neighbouring Ukraine. In 2021, BBC foreign correspondent Sarah Rainsford set out to write a book about how Russians who dared to think differently to the Putin regime were being labelled as enemies, foreign agents and even traitors. It was to chart Russia's slide from democracy and warn of where the crushing of liberties could lead. She had experienced something of that herself when she was expelled from Moscow as a supposed 'security threat'. Then, in February 2022, Putin began his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, moving faster than her worst fears. This is the story of how Vladmir Putin changed Russia so deeply that he was able to launch the biggest conflict in Europe since the Second World War. Sarah's focus is on the extraordinary characters she has encountered, from the Russians such as Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny who paid with their lives for challenging Putin, to the Ukrainians she found burying their dead in Bucha. It is also her own personal reckoning with Russia, where she first lived in the 1990s: a country she saw emerge from decades of authoritarian rule to embrace new freedoms, that has now quashed internal dissent and declared a ruinous war on its neighbour. The culmination of many years of on-the-ground reporting, Goodbye to Russia shines a light on the attacks on freedom that she has witnessed and paints an intimate portrait of the individuals who have tried to resist.
The evening will consist of a reading by Sarah from the book, an 'in conversation' style sit down event chaired by Professor Simon Hall, followed by a short Q&A portion and then a signing as well. Please do join us to celebrate the launch of the book with a glass of wine and an insightful conversation!

야경

生长在海边的果果

하이라이트 구간은 샌프란시스코에서 로스앤젤레스까지인데, 오른쪽 도로가 바다이고, 이 방향의 전망이 좋고 경치가 아름다워서 샌프란시스코에서 로스앤젤레스까지 꼭 운전해서 가야 합니다. 정말 아름다운 길이죠. 우리는 3일간 운전했습니다. 첫째 날에는 샌프란시스코에서 몬터레이로 갔고, 둘째 날에는 피스모 비치로 갔고, 셋째 날에는 로스앤젤레스로 갔습니다. 우리는 길을 따라 멈춰 서서 걸으며, 걷는 동안 즐거운 시간을 보냈습니다. 바다 전망은 최고였고, 중국에서는 본 적이 없는 꽃들이 많이 있었습니다. 정말 아름다웠어요. 이 길을 따라가는 주요 관광 명소로는 하프문베이, 피전포인트 등대, 몬터레이 타운, 카멜 타운, 17마일베이, 빅서 맥베이 폭포, 빅스비강 다리, 엘리펀트 실 비치, 피스모 비치, 솔방 덴마크 타운, 산타바바라, 산타모니카 비치 등이 있습니다.
