Public benefits offered by the Company consist in the provision of its public cultural programme and the online and social media content which supports this programme. b. Strategles for achlevlng objectivès In todatys complex multicultural landscape, we believe that it is more important than ev8r not only to provide an in-depth understanding of Russia's nuanced culture but also to r8assess it and address more universal concerns and ambitions that transcend national d6finitions of culture. We aim to ensure relevanc&, rigour and inclep8ndence in all that w8 do, and to encourage productive ways to address the many urgent questions which arise.

Pushkin House has mounted exhibitions for several decades. Over the last few years, the @xhibition programme ha5 been revamped to address the dramatically changing cultural landscape in th8 aftermath ofthe Russian full- scale invasion of Ukraing. In this Challenging time we believe in showing critical and conceplual programming and artistic practices that explore the contemporary through the lens of hislorical and look beyond binaries. How can we reframe the conversation about Russian art beyand the agenda of the present-day Russian slate? How should we address and pr8sent relevant qu&stions in this context? Our exhibitions are a space for gathering, contemplating, critical raflection and conversations about the common futures of our communili8s. They are integrated with the other strands of our programming, such as public talks and workshops. From 13 October to 27 January 2024 Pushkin House, in partnership with John Hansard gallery, presented a n8w moving image work by acclaimed Ukrainian artist and filmmaker Mykola Ridnyi. Th6 Baltle Ov8r Mazepa conceptualises the historical significance and contemporary perception of Ivan Mazep£, a political and military leader of the Zaporizhian Sich and Left-bank Ukraine in the late-17th and early - 18th century. Addressing codes of hip-hop culture, Ridnyi borrowed the popular form of a rap battle to collide two great works of world literature associated with this historical figure.. M8Zgppa by Lord Byron in 1819 and Poltsva by Alexander Pushkin in 1828-29. Whi18 Byron envisions Maz@pa as a romantic hero, seized by love, Pushkin portrays him as a traitor in acoord8nce with the colonisl altitude of the Russian Empire. Highlighting the confrontation of these two t6Xts, Ridnyi invited four rappers from different national and cultural backgrounds to write and perfom their response to the poets, lyrics. From 14 June to 31 August, in the cont8Xt of the Pushkin House Book Prize, New York-based artlst Daria Irincheeva pres8nted an artistic interv6ntion of ten paintings of book covers from her ongoing series of more than a hundred planned works. While directly quoting elements of Soviet graphic design, the titles and authors, nam88 were missing letters-an aesthetic gesture by the artist to embody th8 fact that all literary figures in the series had been political prisoners and spent time in Soviet labour camp5. Book Pnze.. Our Book PrEe, estsblished in 2013, recognises th8 best non-fiction wrlcing on Flussia published in English. Thé Prize aims to encourage public understanding and debate about the Russian-speaking world. The award focuses on high-quality non-fiction books that delve into Russian cultur8, history, and politics. It also considers works exploring the experiences of those from regions influènced by the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. The prize se8ks bDoks that are well-written, thoroughly researched, and acsSible to a general readership. The 2024 winner was Elena Kostyuchenko, the journalist, writer and activist, with l Love Russia.. Reporting from a Lost Country, translated by Ilona Yazhbin Chavasse and Bela Shayevich I (The Bodley Head, 2023). The other five tit16s on this yearfs Pushkin House Book Prize shortlist provided insights into the experi8ncé of doctors and nurses in Stalin's Gulag,. the people, culture and history in th8 North Caucasus Republics. th8 politics of gender and sexuality in Russian popular culture., the relationship between Nenets nomads and Russian evangelical missionari8s in the Russian ArctiG' and the origins and consequences cf the war in Ukraine.

A Mountain Quest in Russia's Haunted Hinterland by Tom Parfitl., The Russo-ukrainian War by Serhii Plokhy; Words and Sil8n¢es: N8nets Reindeer Herders and Russian Evangelical Missionaries in the Post-soviet Arctic by Laur Vallikivi. Readlng Group.. Our two r@ading groups (one in-p8rson and one online) create a space for sharing and exploring our connections with t8Xts, literature, and culture. In our meetings, we tend to focus on narratives from lesser-heard voices, historical events witnessed from marginalised perspectives, and authors whose palhs have been shaped by oppression, censorship, and punishment such as émigré writers, women, displaced peoples, and those who88 native lands were claimed by the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and post-Sovi8t Russia.

Overvlew of the year under revlew The fiscal 6nvironment for cultural institutions continues to be challenging, exac8rbated by inflation and cuts in financial support from governmental bodies, In our case, this is aggravated by particular complicating factors arising from the Russian invasion of Ukrain8 which have affected our public profile and our fundraising, including sanctions against Russian nationals, some organisations, unwillingness to engage with Ru88ian GuFiure (including an unwillingness to partner or associate with inslitutions involving Russian cutture), and a reduction in public support for Russia-related projects. We ar8 also faced wtth the eccnomic consequences of Brexit making it challenging to apply for European grants. However, we consider our role- as an institution committed to providing an in-depth understanding of Russia's nuanced culture and also to reassess It and address more universal concerns and ambitions that transcend national definitions of culture - to be ¢f particular importance and value at this time. In light of this, we have continued lo grow and develop our team in order to increase the range. scope, quality and reach of our programming and other activities, and to keep Pushkin House op8n to th6 public for longer periods. We expanded our team to include a part-time Mark&ting Officer and Finance Manager.

Subsequent to the period under review, we hsve launched a Russian section of the Bookshop to address an increasing demand of Russian-speaking communities to access Russian books whiGh has becom8 a challenge over the last three years. Our bar-café, open to Ihe public, serves as a much-appreciated enhancement lo our community activities. These new inilialives attract more people into our building and @nhance our revenues. Our extensive progr8mme continues to attract significant audiences in person and online, resulting in increased income from our events.

REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PUSHKIN HOUSE TRUST (CONTINUED) Auditors, responslblllties for the audlt of the financlal statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboul whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors, report that includes our opinion. Reasonab18 assurance is a high lev81 of assurance, bul is nof a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misslatement when it exists. Misstal&ments can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic d8cisions of us8rs taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our iesponsibiliti@s, outlined abov8, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularilies, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is d8tail&d below- Enquiry of management and those charged with gov8rnance. Reviewing trustees, meetings minutes. Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance. Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journ81 entries and other adjustm8nts for approprtaten8ss, evaluating the busineps rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewin9 accounting estimates for bias. Because of the inher8nt limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregulariti&s, including those18ading to a material rrisstatement in the financial statements or non.compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more thal compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statem8nts, as we will be less likely to become awar8 of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring du8 to fraud rath8r than error, as fraud involves Intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, Omission or misr8presentation. AS part of an audit in accordan with ISAS (UK), we exercis8 professional judgement and maintain professional 5cepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial 8tatements, whether due lo fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responsivè to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrid& of intemal control. Obtain an understanding of int8rnal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit prOdUreS that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectivene88 of the charitable compan$ internal conlrol. Evaluate Ihe appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of thé Trustees, us& of th8 going concern basis of accounting and, based on Ihe audit evid6nce obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainly exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors, report to the related disclosures in th8 financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit 8vidence obtained up to the date of our auditors, report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cea88 to continue as a going concern.
