I'd like to thank Jansy for posting a review of the Nabokov museum!
Let me remind of the change of the museum's address. The address at
nabokovmuseum.org is no longer valid, to contact the museum please write to
nabokovmuseum@gmail.com <nabokovmuseum@gmail.com> or to
nabokovmuseum@spbu.ru
We apologize for the inconvenience but with this change, hopefully, it will
soon be possible to update our website.

Also,we're nearing the deadline for accepting applications to our annual
conference which will run on July 2,3 this year. To apply please send your
abstract to nabokovmuseum@gmail.com <nabokovmuseum@gmail.com>

With the best wishes to all Nabokovians,
Tatiana Ponomareva
Nabokov Museum
