ACADEMIA ROSSICA (London/Moscow) is a cultural organisation set up in 2000 to promote and strengthen cultural and intellectual ties between Russia and the English-speaking world.
We are committed to introducing the exciting work of contemporary Russian writers to readers abroad. We support translators and publishers from grass roots level through to project fruition with a system of grants and prizes. We offer translation grants to publishers and translators for forthcoming projects, as well as rewarding the work of translators, budding and established, with our translation prizes. Last year, we received a record number of published translations submitted to the Rossica Prize, testament to renewed interest in Russian writers. We recently inaugurated the Rossica Young Translators Prize, which promotes contemporary Russian novels, as yet untranslated into English, and supports and encourages literary translation amongst young people.
As the official UK representative of Russian publishers and authors and organizer of the Russian Stand at the LBF, for the third year running our stand will act as a gateway into the wealth of the Russian publishing world today. The Russian stand will be exhibiting books from Russia, both in their original and in translation.
Please join us at our stands (Y455 and Y435) or for our seminars to discover more about what new Russian writing has to offer. We look forward to seeing you!
