Dorćol Platz, Friday, October 23, 2026 — A conversation about the novel “Stalin Loved Children”

The novel “Stalin Loved Children” opens up a compelling discussion about history, power, family secrets, and political myths that have not stayed in the past. At Dorćol Platz, Nebojša Milenković, Dragan Velikić, and Dragana Bošković Kovačević will speak about the book, bringing both an authorial and critical perspective to an evening shaped by stories of wartime and postwar Belgrade, Petrograd, Novi Sad, and Moscow, as well as the figures of authority who continue to live on through ideology, fear, and the cult of the “strong hand.” The conversation is accompanied by an exhibition of propaganda posters from the Soviet era, grounding the whole theme firmly in a visual and historical context.
