Russia's Open Book: Writing in the Age of Putin(2013)

Russia's Open Book: Writing in the Age of Putin is a documentary that explores contemporary Russian literature through six distinctive voices. Hosted by Stephen Fry, the film examines the work of Dmitry Bykov, Mariam Petrosyan, Zakhar Prilepin, Anna Starobinets, Vladimir Sorokin, and Lyudmila Ultiskaya—authors whose writing has found growing audiences beyond Russia's borders. Through extended interviews with each writer, alongside perspectives from literary critics, publishers, and fellow authors, the film investigates how these novelists navigate creative expression in modern Russia. Rather than seeking the next Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, Russia's Open Book presents these six as vital contemporary voices reshaping Russian letters for a global readership.
