| The Society for Co-operation in Russian and Soviet
Studies (SCRSS) is a library and cultural centre, based in London,
that promotes knowledge of the culture, language and history of
Russia and the former Soviet Union. The Society is a Registered

We organise events such as seminars,
exhibitions, lectures and films, and promote Russian language
learning. We are actively involved with, and a founder member

London. We facilitate cultural contacts between the UK and Russia.
And we publish a journal, the SCRSS

Talk: 'Reading
and Rebellion: An Anthology of Radical Writing for Children 1900-1960'
Jane Rosen and Kimberley Reynolds discuss their new book, co-edited
with Michael Rosen, which reveals the little-known genre of politically
committed children's literature in inter-war and post-war Britain.
Children's books and periodicals were a central part of radical
activity to help the young build a new, more just and less class-riven
society. Among other extracts in the anthology, many translations
from well-known Soviet children's authors of the 1920s-40s are
included. SCRSS members £3.00 / non-members £5.00. Pay cash
on entry.
