Due to the recent mass upheaval of Russian intellectuals and creatives, there is a demand among Russian-speaking communities to think together and analyse the past, present and future of Russia.

As forums for such discussions are limited, there is a need for an independent space that will produce and disseminate new knowledge in arts and humanities of the region, re-examine its past and help shape its future. 

Through Forum, Pushkin House has laid the foundations for knowledge production and is uniquely placed to become a nonpartisan forum for the exchange of opinions and a platform for meaning-making.
