Going to Kazan\u2019 actually felt to me like I had gone abroad. I know that might sound very weird, for Kazan\u2019 (according to the map but I don\u2019t always carry a map of the world around with me so I didn\u2019t really feel this location)<\/em> is still within and very much a part of the Russian Federation. Maybe it was because of the constant \u00ab<\/strong>\u0434\u0432\u0443\u044f\u0437\u044b<\/span>\u0447\u0438\u0435<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> [bilingualism] everywhere in the city: all the street signs as well as all other signs on buildings and the like were written both \u00ab<\/strong>\u043f\u043e<\/strong>–<\/strong>\u0440\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> [in Russian] as well as \u00ab<\/strong>\u043f\u043e<\/strong>–<\/strong>\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0430<\/span>\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0438<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> [in Tatar]. In Kazan\u2019 they even announce the stops on the bus both \u00ab<\/strong>\u043f\u043e<\/strong>–<\/strong>\u0440\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> [in Russian] and \u00ab<\/strong>\u043f\u043e<\/strong>–<\/strong>\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0430<\/span>\u0440\u0441\u043a\u0438<\/strong>\u00bb<\/strong> [in Tatar]! The whole Kazan\u2019 experience felt to me a bit exotic. The weather could have had something to do with it: during my entire stay it was sunny and around 30 degrees above Celsius. So you can imagine my amazement at the Kazan\u2019 summer heat after leaving a still early and humble spring in the Urals after 14 hours on the train \u2013 to find all the trees suddenly green\u2026<\/p>\n

P.S. Okay, so the real reason as to why I went to Kazan\u2019 in the first place was to make a presentation about some of my scholarly research on Shalamov on a conference at the Kazan\u2019 State University \u2013 \u00ab<\/strong>\u0421\u0438<\/span>\u043d\u0442\u0435\u0437<\/strong> <\/strong>\u0434\u043e\u043a\u0443\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430<\/span>\u043b\u044c\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e<\/strong> <\/strong>\u0438<\/strong> <\/strong>\u0445\u0443\u0434\u043e<\/span>\u0436\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e<\/strong> <\/strong>\u0432<\/strong> <\/strong>\u043b\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0430\u0442\u0443<\/span>\u0440\u0435<\/strong> \u0438<\/strong> \u0438\u0441\u043a\u0443<\/span>\u0441\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435<\/strong>\u00bb <\/strong>[\u201cSynthesis of Documentary and Artistic in Literature and Art\u201d] \u2013 a conference that turned out just as lovely as the city of Kazan\u2019 itself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
