8. Kusochek - Liudmila Tomanek

In this week's installment of Kusochek, Lara interviews Liudmila Tomanek, a chartered translator and PhD student of polyphony in translation. Tune in to hear about Liudmila's memories of the collapse of the USSR and the wild 90s, her analysis of Nobel Peace Prize winner Svetlana Alexeivich's works of literature and a bit of etymological trivia about French and Russian. Liudmila also reads an excerpt from her Russian recommendation of the week and explains why you might find onions sprouting above her dishwasher at home!
