Since Vladimir Putin launched his war on Ukraine under the guise of a “special military operation,” many have questioned what truly motivates him. Linguists who have studied his language for years suggest the answers lie in his words — in his rhetoric, tone, and deliberate choice of language.  In this thought-provoking talk, Dr. Ksenia Turkova offers a compelling linguistic portrait of Putin. Drawing on years of analysis, she unpacks the rhetorical tools he has used throughout his presidency to project power, frame enemies, and shape public opinion.  Among the questions she explores: How do Putin’s words influence Russian society? What role does language play in constructing his image as a powerful, even mythic, leader? And what similarities can be found between his speech and that of political figures in the West?  Ksenia Turkova is an international journalist, editor, and media expert specializing in disinformation, propaganda, and the language of media. With a background in Russia and Ukraine, she has worked with Voice of America, Hromadske, The Insider, and other global outlets. She utilizes a foundation in linguistics and journalism and frequently comments on Russian-language media, hybrid warfare, and freedom of speech in the post-Soviet space.  Information Source: eventbrite

Join us for an exciting night with Maris Kreizman, as she discusses her debut essay colleciton, I Want to Burn This Place Down This in-person event will be held at Solid State Books on H St. NE. Don't miss out! A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left At the heart of this funny, acerbic, and bravely honest book of essays is Maris Kreizman, a former rule follower and ambition monster who once believed the following truths to be self-evident: that working very hard would lead to admission to a good college, which would lead to a good job at a good company, which would then lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose, along with adequate health care and eventual home ownership and plenty of money waiting in a retirement account. Like any good Democrat and feminist, she believed that if she just worked hard and played by the rules, she was guaranteed a safe and comfortable life. Now in her forties, the only thing Maris Kreizman knows for sure is that she no longer has faith in American institutions or any of their hollow promises. Now she knows that the rules are meant to serve some folks better than others; and, actually, they serve no one all that well—not even Kreizman. Disturbed by the depth and scope of the liberal myths in which she once so fervently believed, Kreizman takes readers on an intimate journey that revisits some of her most profound revelations, demonstrating that it’s never too late to become radicalized. With Kreizman’s signature wit and blunt self-reflection, and more than a little transformative rage, I Want to Burn This Place Down is a book for anyone who wishes they could go back in time to give their younger selves the real truth about the fractured country they have inherited—and the encouragement to rebuild something better in its place. Maris Kreizman is an essayist and columnist for Literary Hub whose work has appeared in the New York Times , New York Magazine , the Wall Street Journal , the Los Angeles Times , Vanity Fair , and Esquire . She hosted The Maris Review , an intimate author interview podcast, from 2018 to 2023. A former board member of the National Book Critics Circle, she has served as a judge for the annual NBCC Awards as well as for the NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award. She is the creator of Slaughterhouse 90210 , a blog and book that celebrate the intersection of literature and pop culture. She was previously the editorial director of Book of the Month, the editorial director of digital content at barnesandnoble.com, and a publishing outreach lead at Kickstarter. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and her books. Information Source: Solid State Books | eventbrite
