Other Projects
In 2010 I participated in an oral history theatre project, 'From Plough to Factory Furnace: Retracing the Paths of Soviet Urban Migration in Russia's Northwest' (funded by Geschichtswerkstatt Europa) -- together with Victoria Donovan I wrote the play 'Где хлеб, там и родина' ('Home is Where the Bread is'), based on interviews with people who had moved from the villages to towns in the northwest of Russia in the late Soviet period. The play was performed for the first time at the British Consulate in St Petersburg in August 2010.
