A French postface calls for the release of jailed Russian poet Jénia Berkovitch
A new collection of her poems, prefaced by writer Alexey Voïnov, retraces the case of the Russian poet and theatre director convicted under Putin's regime for "glorifying terrorism."
Jénia Berkovitch, a Russian poet and theatre director, has been imprisoned since the summer of 2024, convicted by the Putin regime on charges of apologie du terrorisme, according to Bibliobs (Le Nouvel Obs).
Her case is retraced in "la Cravate de Pasternak," a postface by the writer Alexey Voïnov that accompanies a new collection of her poems titled "Car février n'en finit plus...," as reported by Bibliobs. The outlet frames the publication as part of an effort to draw attention to her continued detention and call for her release.
No further details on her sentence, the charges against her, or the publisher of the collection were included in the available reporting.
