Lectures, Talks and Dance Demonstrations

Whilst cruising Russia we attended all of Ludmilla’s lectures. She is talented and charismatic speaker, fluent in English with outstanding ability to “connect” with her audience on a variety of levels. The content of her lectures was fascinating and contemporary.

"A compelling speaker who can cover whatever subject you want"

I have been privileged to hear some of your lectures. You have a remarkable way of pulling together so many threads of history, present day and the concepts which tie them together . You really ARE that bridge that you describe between the library books, newspapers and people!

Typical lectures and talks subjects include:

Michael Gorbachev and the end of the Soviet Union
Current Russia and President Medvedev
Creation and crash of the Empire
Catherine the Great
Alexander II : Greta reforms and great love
The first and Last Romanov

Example event

Renowned Russian Professor, Former Communist To Attend our Gala Russian Dinner

Dr. Ludmilla Selezneva, renowned Russian scholar and one-time communist-activist, will bring a flavour of the history of her country to our dinner. She will regale us with her accounts of communism and her conversion to democracy during her presentation.

This is an opportunity to share her experiences in Russia and what the people have gone through.

You will find Selezneva's experiences fascinating and will see how they have enriched her life, especially because she was brought up in conditions of poverty but fought against the odds and excelled in her studies.

Ludmilla grew up as a communist being actively involved in politics during her college years and then experienced the switch in Russia from communism to democracy. Ludmilla is a lady who loves to share her experiences and you can listen to her for hours.
