Isaac Babel: In the wake of the Odessa myth

On January 21, we will follow the trail of Odessa myth created by the great mystifier of the 20th century - Emmanuel Babel. We will try to understand some of the myths left to us by the master of the short story. Let's get acquainted with the prototypes of Babel's characters (real and mythical). We will study the geography of Babel's Odessa and listen to Babel's stories from his contemporaries. Also talk about literary hoax.              What Odessa did not read “Odessa stories” - famous works       Isaac Babel about the boiling life in Moldovan, about Benya Crick, excuse me - about Moisha-Yakov Vinnitsa (better known to us as Mishka Yaponchik)?       - But was Vinnitsky the only prototype of Beni Creek?       - How did Konstantin Paustovsky know the text of the story still unwritten by Babel?       - Did Odessa raiders really kill the landlord in the Moldavian apartment in which Babel lived?       - Was there "Odessa language" before Babel?       - Where did Babel actually live in Odessa?       - These and other secrets of Isaac Babel will unveil their veil in the lecture "Following the Odessa myth"!              The lecture is conducted by geologist and local historian Dmitry Zhdanov.              Entrance: 100 UAH       If you register, we will definitely save a place for you: https://forms.gle/BFRFh9deGe8Z36UA7              By the way, in order not to miss the events of the Living Room, we recommend subscribing to our telegram channel: https://t.me/HubLivingroom
