Voting am uss t THE CAMBRIDGE I RussiAN-SpEAKING SOCIETY Summary for 2020 THANK YOU! CFIACM601 **The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society Reports for 2020** ## **Report of CamRuSS activities in 2020** _Dear Members of the Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society,_ I am pleased to conclude that we, at CamRuSS, have had an eventful and successful year, against all odds. We held over 28 meetings with the majority held online, including our first virtual Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 16[th] April. The range of topics varied from Covid-19 to an online masterclass in Georgian cuisine, allowing us to address different interests and expand our audiences. Over 1500 people joined our events last year, notwithstanding the social distancing restrictions and, in many ways, thanks to the new format we have had to embrace since March. We have had speakers and attendees from various countries connecting and contributing to our meetings. _Some of the highlights of 2020:_ We launched a series of talks exploring Russian History and Art “From Icons to Modernism” which were delivered by a group of esteemed art historians and proved to be very popular. We realised an important community project for VE Day 75: “British Veterans of The Second World War”, a collection of illustrated autobiographies of the living veterans of WW2 residing in the UK. We also published a brochure “Remembering the Second World War”, which in addition to the veterans’ biographies, included personal stories from relatives and friends who experienced war at first hand on the Eastern and Western Fronts. Copies of the brochure were filed at key UK legal deposit libraries, including the British Library. As part of this important anniversary, we sent cards and presents to our local veterans, including felted poppies hand-crafted by a Russian artist in St Petersburg, and recorded a memorable audio greeting by Capt. Rolfe Monteith. Over the course of the year, we were delighted to welcome three distinguished patrons as members of CamRuSS: Prof Anthony Cross, Libby Howie and Dr Rachel Polonsky. We should like to extend particular thanks to Libby, with whose generous support we could afford to employ our first part-time administrative assistant, who since mid-October has been helping to streamline our communications and provide support to the external community. We are most grateful to CamRuSS’s Patron Tony Brenton for delivering the brilliant online talk “Member of the Family or Barbarian at the Gate? Russia and the West” on 6 November 2020 and providing his invaluable support to CamRuSS over the years. We initiated collaborations and provided support to the following UK partners: The Kino Klassika Foundation, Raymond Nicolette Trust, Gift of Life, The Great Britain-Russia Society, Russian Art and Culture. We made several donations throughout the year, including £100 towards Captain Tom Moore’s NHS fundraising campaign and a small donation to Russian Art and Culture for their promotional support. All this was made possible thanks to the active support of the Board of Trustees: Ksenia Afonina (Chair), Yelena Karl (Secretary & Vice-Chair), Janar Davletov (Treasurer), Elena 1 **The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society Reports for 2020** Richer, Ekaterina Onatskaia, Jelena Carter and Honorary Advisers: Tanya Yurasova, John Barber and Firuza Melville, as well as the help of the key volunteers: Alyona Gun’ko (membership), Elena Gorban’ (finance), Tania Ustinova, Oksana Gerasimova, Tanya Yurasova, Natasha Bacon (communications), Beverley Lott (proofreading) and Elvira Churyumova who joined our team as a part-time administrator. We are greatly thankful to CamRuSS Honorary Adviser Dr John Barber for delivering an insightful talk online, “Operation Barbarossa: The turning point of The Second World War”, on 18 September 2020. I should like to especially mention the contribution of the Secretary and Vice-Chair Yelena Karl, whose role was crucial in the process of introducing online activities. Thanks also to all members, speakers, attendees and contributors to our events. We did not charge for our online events but invited donations which were kindly gifted by over 70 of those who attended our events throughout the year. Your membership fees and kind support have kept us going in these challenging times. When reviewing the progress of the plans set at our last AGM in April 2020, I am pleased to report that we completed most of our tasks, apart from the website upgrade project, on which we have started work and will aim to launch in 2021. Thank you for another remarkable and memorable year! ## _**Ksenia Afonina, Chair**_ ___________________________________________________________________________ ## **Financial Report CamRuSS 2020** We are in the midst of an unprecedented health emergency, the COVID-19 pandemic. So it is with great regret that we had to minimize the number of our in-person events during the lockdown in 2020. The move of events to online with all of us staying home is a somewhat sad moment for us but these measures are in accordance with government regulations and guidance, and reflect the seriousness of the current situation. It is both tough and disappointing that we cannot meet in person, but we also recognise that online events brought our organisation some unexpected benefits such as being able to invite some interesting speakers from afar, accommodating more attendees on our online platforms than would normally be possible. High-quality online lectures were available to all members and friends throughout the year due to the hard work of the Trustees and volunteers who organised them. Our income for the year stands at £14,908 (£14,645 last year), which derived from income from entrance fees 10% (30% in 2019), sponsorship and external grants 3% (27% in 2019), donations 73% (24% in 2019), memberships 8% (9% in 2019) and other income 6% (10% in 2019). We have been successful in obtaining a grant from the Cambridge City Council for £500 for 9[th] of May presentation and the Remembrance Day brochure production. 2 **The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society Reports for 2020** In 2020 we have received incredibly generous donations from our supporters and Patrons. Overall donations amounted to £11,400 (£7,530 in 2019) which is 76% of total income received in the year. There was a particularly large general donation of £10k given to support the work of an administrative assistant and the development of our website. That work is now underway. Overall donations not including this one came to £900. Membership income contributed 8% (9% in 2019) to our overall income in 2020. The Trustees are very grateful to the members for their continued support even in this challenging year. Now that CamRuSS is a registered charity, we are able and planning to submit a Gift Aid claim on donations received in 2020. For a basic-rate taxpayer, this adds up to 25% of the value of the donation to CamRuSS under the Gift Aid scheme, so if you gave £10 with Gift Aid your gift is worth £12.50 to our charity. Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of making your donations go even further; it’s like a gift on top of a gift at no extra cost to you! However, we can only claim Gift Aid on eligible donations, i.e. where we have a completed Gift Aid declaration form from the donor, confirming that they are a UK taxpayer. It is that easy and the form is available on our website. Gift Aid represents the longstanding principle of not taxing money donated to good causes. Gift Aid acts as a recognition of the important role of charities in society. So please go this extra step which could make quite a big difference for the funding of CamRuSS’ activities at no extra cost. The overall expenditure in 2020 was £5,467 (£10,895 in 2019), of which 37% was attributable to direct costs (85% in 2019), 20% (4% in 2019) to overheads such as website maintenance, subscription fees and insurance. Such an increase in overheads is due to additional subscriptions and fees CamRuSS had to pay for a Zoom licence and website maintenance to be able to carry out the events online. 43 % (3% in 2019) was attributable to governance and corporate costs: 1% (5% in 2019) governance and 42% (8% in 2019) to corporate costs such as corporate memberships. One of the main factors that led to this increase in corporate costs was the employment of a part-time administrative assistant. In conclusion, I hope an effective lockdown and the vaccines that are being rolled out across the country offer us some light at the end of the tunnel and that we shall be able to return to normal life in due course. Meanwhile, CamRuSS will continue to maintain various and interesting engagement with you all. Please continue your support to our Society so that we can keep meeting again online and in person. ## _**Janar Davletov, Treasurer**_ ___________________________________________________________________________ ## **Membership** Last year we did very well, and we would like to say thank you all for your kind support. However, we can see that the total number of memberships in 2020 is slightly lower compared to 2019. I presume that this was caused by the pandemic and the fact that all inperson events were cancelled. 3 **The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society Reports for 2020** Overall, in 2020 we received £1,229 (90 members) in memberships compared to £1,380 (96 members) in 2019. Again, thank you very much for your support! **----- Start of picture text -----**

## _**Alona Gun’ko, Membership Officer**_ __________________________________________________________________________ ## **Communications** This has been another very busy year for the team with a particular emphasis on electronic communications due to the need to go virtual since the end of March 2020. Over 60 electronic communications have been sent during the year. We have publicised and supported CamRuSS events and projects through the following digital platforms and collaborators: CamRuSS Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, collaborating with Cambridge University Slavonic Department and CURS, as well as Cambridge Arts Network, Talks, All Events, Eventbrite, Visit Cambridge & Beyond, and local newspapers. We are delighted to introduce Elvira Churyumova who took over from Tanya Ustinova in October 2020. Before Elvira joined the team in October, Tanya Ustinova was responsible for sending electronic newsletters via Mailchimp by collecting news items, compiling, editing and testing content, liaising with organisers and making sure the information was correct and relevant. Ksenia Afonina was managing the website as well as Instagram and Eventbrite accounts, compiling and checking newsletters and providing backup support across other areas of communications. Yelena Karl helped to proofread and edit newsletters, posted events on the CamRuSS website, Facebook, All Events as well as Visit Cambridge & Beyond (till its closure in summer 2020). Now Elvira Churyumova has taken charge of electronic bulletins, as well as promoting CamRuSS events on social media and across all communication channels, including our partners, updating the CamRuSS website and responding to communications received at events@camruss.com, camruss1999@gmail.com, newsletter@camruss.com. During the year, Natasha Bacon has been promoting our events (especially those in the CamRuSS Art Series) via Facebook among relevant interest groups. 4 **The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society Reports for 2020** Tanya Kladi helped with translations into Russian. Tanya Yurasova has been looking after the official CamRuSS contact mailbox info@camruss.com, responding to queries or forwarding them to the relevant officers/members of the board of trustees. We are also delighted to welcome Beverley Lott who is now helping with proofreading and editing the English-language communications. (Tanya Ustinova, Ksenia Afonina, Elvira Churyumova, Yelena Karl, Natasha Bacon, Tanya Yurasova, Tanya Kladi, Beverley Lott) ## _**Tanya Yurasova, on behalf of CamRuSS Communications Team**_ ___________________________________________________________________________ ## **Website and Social Media Report:** The CamRuSS website has demonstrated an active performance since the beginning of the first lockdown with over 1700 users visiting it each month since April 2020, where the majority were new visitors. In addition to UK-based audience members we attracted users from across the world, including Russia, USA, China, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Our Facebook Account has 1600 subscribers Instagram – 158 followers Twitter – 111 followers Our mailing list grew by 500 new subscribers in 2020. ___________________________________________________________________________ ## **Short overview of the activities by individual interest groups:** ## **Theatre/ Vot Takoi Teatr (Svetlana Baibekova)** In 2020 Vot Takoi Teatr continued to exist despite the pandemic and the lockdown. The group continued rehearsing Nikolai Erdman’s play _The Suicide (Самоубийца_ ) with Svetlana Baibekova as a director. 3 more people joined the group making it 21 in total. Apart from the play rehearsal, Konstantin Kamenski (a professional theatre director from London) ran three masterclasses with the group. From March 2020, when meeting in person became impossible, the group switched to rehearsals on Skype. After it became clear that they would not be able to perform on stage any time soon, the group started to read various plays on Skype. With a weekly meeting on Wednesdays, each play takes 2-3 meetings to read. At the same time more people joined the group: Russianspeaking people from Germany, Israel, Russia. The group has started reading Shakespeare – so far six plays have been read. Under the current circumstances the Russian theatre group became a sort of radio theatre and expanded its members outside Cambridgeshire and the UK. When they were looking for a better translation to Russian, poet Marina Boroditskaya joined the group and offered a new translation to Russian of T _he Comedy of Errors_ . Currently, the theatre group meets weekly on Tuesdays. 5 **The Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society Reports for 2020** Svetlana came up with the idea of inviting Marina Boroditskaya, poet and translator, to talk to the CamRuSS audience, which Marina kindly agreed to do in April this year. ## **Russian Book Club (coordinator: Olga Dunstan)** Book club continued to thrive in 2020 moving from in person meetings to online. With 25-30 subscribers, 6-8 people usually attend the meetings. They read one book a month and held 11 meetings last year, exploring and discussing works by Russian and international authors, such as: _Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari, On the Body of the Soul by Ludmila Ulitskaya, The Sacred Book of Werewolf by Viktor Pelevin, The Razor’s Edge by W. Somerset Maugham, Brisbane by Eugene Vodolazkin, The Rehearsal by Vladimir Sharov, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, Tresorium by Boris Akunin, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee._ ## **Club 80+ (Irina Abnizova)** Sadly, after the death of another member of this club in summer 2020 and during the pandemic, the club stopped operating. It would be great to revive this initiative. Irina Abnizova, who initiated the club a few years ago, is thinking about the ways to look after Russian-speaking elderly parents who live here with their adult children or any elders: _Soon a lot of CamRuSS active members will retire, (60+) they should do something nice for themselves! Perhaps make links with children who do not have their grandparents around._ ## **Russian-English Conversation on Zoom (Tanya Yurasova)** This was a new initiative, offered to members of CamRuSS and the local community during the period of lockdown and social distancing. It started in May 2020, and took the form of weekly one-hour long meetings, with the number of participants varying from 6 to 20 at its best. The group chooses a topic for each week; sometimes members prepare a short quiz or send to one another links to videos and other materials. Discussions take place in Russian and English, half of the time in each language, usually in breakout rooms in groups of 3-5. There is a core of regular and active participants who, hopefully, benefit from this activity. ## **CamRuSS Collaborations 2020: Summer and Winter Online Russian Courses run by local teachers of Russian language (Tanya Yurasova)** Two Online Russian Courses were organised this year by Tanya Yurasova with the help of a team of professional Russian teachers (Lina Konovalova, Vera Grantham, Anna Nerukh, Marina Burrell, Elena McKain, Olga Kimkhai, and Ioulia Ignatievskaia), in collaboration with CamRuSS. One course was in August, and the other in November – December. Each course ran on two consecutive weekends, with 60 and 40 participants respectively, and both were rather successful according to the feedback from the students. 6 CamRuSS Secretary to the Board of Trustees Report 2020 Dear friends, Last year the Board of Trustees met 13 times to discuss many important issues from making plans and organising events, to setting the society’s future goals and planning and switching our activities to virtual format. A few of these meetings were also attended by Honorary Advisers and Patrons. At the last Annual General meeting Firuza Melville stepped down from her trustee role and became an honorary adviser, while Elena Richer joined as a new trustee. After joining as a Patron Libby Howie hosted a strategic brainstorming in her garden on 29 June 2020 when it was allowed to meet outside. We discussed ideas of fundraising and special projects. The specific characteristic of CamRuSS Board of Trustees is that all the trustees play a key role in running the society, essentially as active volunteers – members of the organising committee, unlike typical overseeing governors who check a charity’s affairs only once or twice a year. Let’s look at the plans we set at the last AGM for 2020 and what we have accomplished: - Upgrade CamRuSS website – found designers in St Petersburg; work in progress (technical description is being completed at the moment); - Secure grant for the Manager’s salary & website upgrade – found a donor to sponsor this position; - Hire part-time CamRuSS Manager/Executive – hired Elvira Churyumova, Administrative Assistant on a part-time basis in October; - Launch a series of talks about Russian Arts & Culture – 6 talks, 3 speakers, 540+ attended; - Improve communications – administrative assistant is helping now; - Improve involvement of members of the Organising Committee and attract new trustees – invited 4 new candidates: Alona Gun’ko, Sayara Thompson and Oksana Gerasimova joining as CamRuSS trustees in 2021; - Create agreement templates and role specifications for trustees/volunteers in line with the Charity Commission requirements – work in progress (Mariam Olayan is helping); - Organise an Open Table – to attract new people, volunteers, etc. – 3 round tables (brochure; prize project; engaged a new volunteer Beverley Lott who has been helping with proofreading our external communications); - Work with existing volunteers; Search for new potential volunteers through social networks; - Maintained and update the bank of ideas – work in progress. Please see the individual reports submitted by the trustees below.
