Maxim Osipov (Russia/ Netherlands)
Kilometer 101
Russian writer and cardiologist Maxim Ossipow reads from Kilometer 101. In his short stories and essays, he paints a powerful portrait of life in the Russian provinces – marked by stagnation, bleakness, and often absurd everyday realities, but also by surprising moments of hope and warmth. Ossipow writes about emigrants, antisemitism, daily life in an authoritarian state, and the resilience of people determined to survive.
“I love Maxim Ossipow’s prose. His stories are like a precise, merciless diagnosis of Russian life.” — Svetlana Alexievich
