Description was written before the event
Armen Zakharyan - philologist and public educator, creator of the literary YouTube channel "Armen and Fyodor" - will give a lecture titled "30 Seconds to the Renaissance".
The talk focuses on the late 15th century - a time when the medieval worldview was crumbling and a new one had yet to take shape. Zakharyan draws a parallel with today: that sense of a turning point, when the familiar is slipping away and what comes next remains uncertain, is something humanity has lived through before. The lecture explores exactly how.
