Simon Ings - Festival of Ideas at Waterstones

Monday 24th April 2017
19:00 at Waterstones, Bristol - Galleries

Stalin and the Scientists: A History of Triumph and Tragedy 1905-1953 (Hardback)

The Soviet Union’s sciences were the largest and best funded in history – and were at once the glory and laughing stock of the intellectual world.

Simon Ings weaves together what happened when, early in the twentieth century, a handful of impoverished and underemployed graduates, professors and entrepreneurs, collectors and charlatans, bound themselves to a weak and failing government to create a world superpower.

This is an event in partnership with the Bristol Festival of Ideas.
