To what extent are Russian culture and intellectual life regulated by the state? In what forms does intellectual life exist, and are these forms conventional? Who are today’s “intellectuals” and what cultural, symbolic and political product do they produce? Where is the line between intellectual work and politics, between politics and culture, and can there be dialogue along these borders? These and other questions will be discussed with Irina Prokhorova and Ivan Krastev.
