The Association of Russian Speakers in Korea introduces Dostoevsky Reload, an intergenerational Russian-Korean cultural forum taking place on 15 November 2026 in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

The central theme of the forum is: “Why Should We Read Dostoevsky in the 21st Century?”

The initiative aims to bring together young people, students, researchers, literature enthusiasts and cultural representatives from different backgrounds to explore the continuing relevance of Dostoevsky’s ideas and their connection to contemporary social and philosophical questions.

The programme features expert presentations, team-based intellectual challenges, Russian-Korean youth debates, theatrical performances, a cultural exhibition and networking opportunities.

The Association believes that connecting Russian and Korean youth through Dostoevsky’s literary and philosophical heritage can contribute to meaningful intercultural dialogue and encourage a new generation to engage with world literature.
