Kurilka vostfaka, che si traduce dal russo come La sala fumatori della Facoltà Orientale, è un programma nato a San Pietroburgo, uno dei principali centri europei di studi orientali. Oggi continua a Venezia, la porta d'Europa verso l'Oriente.
Questa "sala fumatori" è uno spazio concettuale, forse persino immaginario, dove traduttori, studiosi ed esperti si riuniscono per conversazioni informali su Asia e Africa. Ogni episodio esplora temi specifici, come l'arte islamica e le lingue orientali, o affronta domande esistenziali, ad esempio: chi è davvero un orientalista?
Il podcast è condotto da Valeria Bezrodnaya, studentessa dell'Università Ca' Foscari, ed è presentato in lingua russa.

Kurilka vostfaka, which translates from Russian as The Smoking Room of the Oriental Faculty, originated as a podcast in St. Petersburg, one of Europe's leading centers for Oriental studies. It continues today in Venice, Europe's gateway to the East.
This "smoking room" is a conceptual, perhaps even imaginary space where translators, scholars, and experts gather for informal conversations about Asia and Africa. Each episode explores particular topics such as Islamic art and oriental languages or delves into existential questions, like: Who is an orientalist, at all?
The podcast is hosted by Valeria Bezrodnaya, a student at Ca' Foscari University, and is presented in Russian.

17 NOV 2025 · В заключительном эпизоде венецианского сезона "Курилки востфака" мы с Андреем Мурашко говорим о смеховой культуре Древнего Египта. Какой русский исследователь первым предложил изучать смеховую культуру? Как связаны священное и юмористическое? Были ли в Египте мемы и стендап? Как египтяне шутили "ниже пояса"? На эти вопросы отвечает специалист по египетскому юмору из Венецианского университета Ca' Foscari.

“Seth, Mighty of Buttocks: Laughter and Humor in Ancient Egypt (18+)”
In the final episode of Kurilka Vostfaka in Venice, Andrei Murashko and I discuss the culture of laughter in Ancient Egypt. Which Russian scholar was the first to propose studying humor as a cultural phenomenon? How are the sacred and the humorous connected? Did Egypt have memes and stand-up comedy? And how did ancient Egyptians do the dirty jokes? These questions are answered by a soon-to-become PhD in Egyptian humor from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
16 JUN 2025 · Работа на АЭС в Египте и переводческие кул-стори в новом эпизоде Курилки востфака с Керимом Оразовым. Внутри слова на египетском диалекте!
Working at a nuclear power plant in Egypt and cool stories about consecutive interpretation in the new episode of Kurilka Vosfaka with Kerim Orazov. Listen to learn phrases in the Egyptian dialect!
21 FEB 2025 · В этом выпуске вы услышите истории четырех востоковедов о том, как они нашли себя в мире работы после окончания университетов:
1. От иранской филологии до кураторства в Эрмитаже (Михаил Грачёв)
2. От сибирского китаеведения до работы на атомной станции (Виталий Глинкин)
3. От китайских романов до карьеры в IT (Мария Першина)
4. От истории Ирана и Афганистана до международных переговоров (Валерия Безродная, то есть я)
Пожалуй, за этим эпизодом стоит мое корыстное желание разобраться в том, где же можно применить свои знания выпускнику факультета востоковедения, ведь холодное дыхание поиска работы я постоянно ощущаю и на собственном затылке. Пишите комментарии в https://t.me/vostfuckts, если хотите вторую часть о востоковедах в науке, дипломатии и других областях.
Подкаст представлен на русском языке. Первый сезон подкаста доступен https://persidskaya.mave.digital
(ENG) In this episode, you will hear stories of four orientalists about how they found themselves in the world of work after graduating from university:
1. From Iranian philology to curating at the Hermitage Museum (Mikhail Grachev)
2. From Siberian sinology to working at a nuclear power plant (Vitaly Glinkin)
3. From Chinese novels to a career in IT (Maria Pershina)
4. From the history of Iran and Afghanistan to international negotiations (Valeria Bezrodnaya, that is, me)
Perhaps, behind this episode is my selfish desire to figure out where a graduate of the Faculty of Oriental Studies can apply his knowledge, because I constantly feel the cold breath of job search on the back of my head.
This podcast is presented in Russian. The first season is available https://persidskaya.mave.digital.
8 JAN 2025 · Этот выпуск посвящён искусству исламских стран. Мой гость — Михаил Грачёв, исследователь из Венского университета и бывший куратор Государственного Эрмитажа в Санкт-Петербурге, — помогает удовлетворить моё любопытство, отвечая на следующие вопросы: зачем изучать искусство? Универсально ли восприятие красоты у разных народов? Какие следы исламского влияния мы можем увидеть в Санкт-Петербурге и Венеции? Как следует относиться к колониальному наследию в европейских музеях? Можем ли мы вообще говорить об «исламском» искусстве? На протяжении выпуска мы рассматриваем это явление в различных плоскостях и приглашаем вас присоединиться к нашему чарующему путешествию. В завершение Михаил представляет список литературы по исламскому декоративному искусству, архитектуре и миниатюре.
Мы оба, Валерия и Михаил, — выпускники факультета востоковедения Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета. Мы изучали историю Ирана и Афганистана и иранскую филологию соответственно.
Эпизод представлен на русском языке. Первый сезон подкаста доступен https://persidskaya.mave.digital
This episode is dedicated to the art of Islamic countries. My guest Mikhail Grachev, a researcher from the University of Vienna and former curator of Hermitage museum in Saint Petersburg, gratifies my curiosity by answering the following questions: Why one studies art? Is the perception of beauty universal among different peoples? What traces of the Islamic influence do we witness in Saint Petersburg and Venice? How should we treat the colonial legacy in European museums? Is there such thing as "Islamic" art at all? We speak of various dimensions of this phenomenon and invite you to join us in this charming journey. At the end Mikhail suggests a reading list on Islamic decorative art, architecture, and miniature.
Both of us, Valeria and Mikhail, are alumnis of the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Saint Petersburg University. We studied history of Iran and Afghanistan and Iranian philology respectively.
The episode is presented in Russian. The podcast's 1st season is available https://persidskaya.mave.digital
