These writers are in the city to present their latest works to the public.

Covid-19 exerts violence on the human psyche. It changes our attitude not only to the world, but also to each other. The pandemic deprives us of the opportunity to be different and tries to depersonalize us, according to writer Vladimir Zarev. Each of us feels the fear that he or his family, friends, may become infected and face fatal consequences.
