Presenting German books and supporting translations
Throughout the whole year we are determinedly working with the Frankfurt Book Fair book collections, presenting them at Russian book fairs, in libraries, universities and even museums. Thus we want to spark interest in contemporary German literature in Russia, acquaint the Russian audience with German writers and their works, support the distribution of the German language and contribute to translations of German literature.

Attendance at book fairs and professional events in Russia
Being present at Russian book fairs with a German collective stand or an information booth, the BIZ Moscow focuses on maintaining contacts, networking and presenting new German literature. The invitation of German top-class speakers and the participation in professional seminars, round tables and workshops also contribute to mutual exchange.

Media communication
To raise the Russian audience’s awareness of the German publishing industry and literary scene we are cooperating with the Russian professional journal “Book Industry” and the consumer magazine “Reading together”. These publications reach a large and active share of Russian book professionals as well as a wide audience of readers. Due to our constant presence in these magazines the BIZ Moscow is perceived as intermediary connecting the German and Russian book sectors, and as counseling and information center for German literature and the German publishing scene.
