LECTURE “MANDELSTAM IN BATUMI”

LECTURE “MANDELSTAM IN BATUMI”

On December 2 and 3, the third lecture in the series about writers who left their mark on Batumi will take place. This time, we will talk about Osip Mandelstam — who visited Batumi more than once (twice, to be precise).

What we will discuss:
• Was Mandelstam really imprisoned in Batumi?
• Where is the poet’s grave located?
• What is Acmeism?
• Is it true that Mandelstam and Tsvetaeva were a couple?
• And was Mandelstam often… completely wasted?
