Tuesday 10 March 2026, 18:00-20:00. 

The Woman Question for a Media Mogul – Sex, Power, and Scandal in 19th Century Russia invites the audience to meet Alexei Suvorin, the Russian Rupert Murdoch of the 19th century and to explore how his newspapers shaped public opinion and how his entanglements with early feminists sparked scandal and debate, revealing the drama behind the “Woman Question” in Imperial Russia. 

The talk will be followed by a lively, hands-on introduction to Russian word formation, showing how meaning is built from prefixes, roots, and suffixes. 

The masterclass is open to anyone who studies languages, history, media or gender studies, anyone curious about Russian language and culture and anyone interested in history, media and social change. 

The masterclass will be delivered in English. 

Masterclass convenor: Dr Olga Makarova
