We were established in 1954 by Russian émigrés and British enthusiasts to celebrate, explore and share aspects of Russian culture. We are a charity and as such our work depends on donations. We honour and further the mission of those who established Pushkin House 65 years ago." https://www.pushkinhouse.org
