The first investigative journalist in the old Soviet Union, Vitali Vitaliev was forced to defect from the USSR in January 1990 \u2013 the result of his ground-breaking and courageous investigations into Soviet organised crime, neo-fascism, political prisoners and persecutions.<\/p>\n

He has been awarded several Journalist of the Year awards and received the Nieman Fellowship in Journalism from Harvard University (USA) \u2013 the most prestigious title that can be bestowed to a professional working in the field of international investigative journalism.<\/p>\n

Since his escape to the West Vitali has worked as an editor and columnist and appeared on both serious and satirical TV and radio programming. Vitali has published eleven books, all written in English and translated into many languages,<\/p>\n

Vitali will take us on a journey he once undertook through drinks \u2013 rather than countries \u2013 through Eastern and Central Europe and we\u2019ll find out how closely alcoholic beverages are linked to everything else in a society: culture, technology, architecture, economic development. You\u2019ll learn about the fascinating history of some vodkas and beers, wines and liquors, and the important social and political roles they played and continue playing. You\u2019ll also find out the \u201ccorrect\u201d ways of drinking some of them which may differ from what we are used to. The talk will be based on Vitali\u2019s best-selling book \u201cBorders Up! Eastern Europe Through the Bottom of a Glass<\/strong>\u201d and on his other rich impressions of a compulsive traveller and an experienced (if moderate) drinker.<\/p>\n
