A pause for vacation and upcoming autumn events

Dear readers,

Please note that I will be on vacation for two weeks from 22 September to 5 October. During this time, I will on some days have no access to the internet. Accordingly, I will not be doing any interviews, and will post articles on this site only if major international developments should occur.

Looking ahead, at the end of October I will participate in a Round Table discussion of the BRICS Summit in Kazan which I have already written about.  And for three weeks in November, I expect to be in St Petersburg and Moscow, from where I will be posting commentary on what I see in the shopping baskets of Russian consumers and what I hear about the war, about Russia’s mission in the world from old friends and from new acquaintances in different strata of society.

I look forward to your company on these pages.

G. Doctorow
