Working Breakfast: “The people who write books”

Pavilion 2, 2nd Floor

In their work, modern publicists, journalists and politicians represent public opinion, and the effectiveness and results of the processes that are currently underway in Russia. The books published in 2011 discuss the further development of Russian society, the political situation and the general climate.

In the course of the discussion, the participants will answer the following questions:

What motivated you to create your book?
How have the times we live in affected its contents?
How does the author himself define the role of his work in the social and political life of the country?
Could the book change public opinion?
