POETS AGAINST THE WAR
Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Russian-language poetry has acquired particular significance—poets respond quickly to events, and poems have proven to be in demand. Or have they?
How did poets survive the onset of the war? What do they see as their role now? What do Ukrainian poets think of the anti-war poems of Russians (former and current)? What is Z-poetry? Can poetry save anyone?
The characters in Grigory Arosev's film "Poets Against War" discuss this in absentia: Dmitry Bykov, Alexander Kabanov, Irina Evsa, Alya Khaitlina, Mikhail Yudovsky, Alexander Delfinov, and Lena Berson.
