On July the 12 the students studying Russian at the Summer university met the short story writer Irina Lvova, a member of the Russian writers union and an author of several books. Both the author and the students had questions for each other: they discussed reading and it’s role in the life of modern Russia and in the West; and what the students knew about Russian Literature.

During the meeting they also read and commented on one of Irina Lvova’s stories.
