On Wednesday, October 8, please join the writer and artist Victoria Lomasko at the n+1 office for a screening of Tree of Violence, an acclaimed documentary about Lomasko directed by Anna Moiseenko. 

Lomasko will discuss the film and sign copies of The Last Soviet Artist (n+1 Books, 2025) and Other Russias (n+1 Books, 2017), both of which will be available for sale at the event.

The event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are strongly encouraged. The n+1 office is wheelchair accessible. 

Praise for The Last Soviet Artist

“Striking. . . . Lomasko’s clear prose, beautifully translated by Bela Shayevich, is accompanied by eloquent portraits of the people she meets . . . A complex tapestry of life at the edges of a still crumbling empire. The power of Lomasko’s work exists in the marriage she makes between text and image. She observes, interacts and records, rarely passing judgement, and as a result the images she creates have the effect of a sucker punch.” —Times Literary Supplement

“The Last Soviet Artist—which fuses political reportage, travels, memoir and artwork—is profoundly moving. . . . Graphic novels are the ideal response to authoritarian regimes.” —Financial Times

“Through reportage, symbolism, and lived experience, The Last Soviet Artist captures a society in transition—and in collapse. Lomasko’s latest work not only documents the end of an era, but asserts the enduring power of art to bear witness, even in exile.” —Moscow Times

“The Last Soviet Artist is an urgent read for the incendiary times that we inhabit today, and a critical response to the aesthetic inertia of our times. Lomasko’s latest is a work that urges you to question your position.” —Asymptote

“A superb entry in graphic reportage.” —Condé Nast Traveler
