(the gentle art of a timely announcement) This evening already! Tonight at the Logan Hall of the University College London under the aegis of Pushkin House, also of London, the esteemed colleague Mark Galeotti and myself are having a discussion on our - and every Russia watcher out there - favourite subject: regime evolutions, convolutions, spasms and what the Mock Turtle called "fainting in coils". Since there's a lot of the above going on, we hope to have a better part of an hour for our cosy autopsy session, and then take questions from the audience. They say there MAY BE a ticket or two still being tucked in the corner somewhere, but I wouldn't vouch for this. However, if you happen to be in London by any chance, there may be a sense in trying.

And the Gryphon never learnt it.” “Hadn’t time,” said the Gryphon: “I went to the Classics master, though. He was an old crab, he was.” www.pushkinhouse.org/events/…galeotti
