ZIMA Club is a community of like-minded people united by their love of culture, art and socializing

Members of the private club have access to an exclusive program of meetings with famous scientists, politicians, writers, actors, musicians and artists. Together they discuss current topics, read books, go to exhibitions, cook and eat, travel – in general, spend time interestingly and usefully in the company of people close to their hearts.

The club’s program of events is carefully curated by a board of trustees that includes Boris Akunin, Boris Grebenshchikov, Ekaterina Golitsina, Sergei Guriev, Clementine Cecil, Owen Matthews, Andrei Movchan, and Natasha Tsukanova.

How do I join?

By joining the club, you not only get access to a rich program of events, but also help preserve Russian culture abroad, supporting the mission of the Zima platform.

Before you become a member of the ZIMA Club, we ask you to answer a short questionnaire. This way we can better understand what you expect from being a member of the club – and what the club can give you.

Your application to join the club will be reviewed by the ZIMA Club management. To speed up the process, ask for recommendations from your colleagues, friends or relatives who are already ZIMA Club members.

The club has several levels of membership – standard “Single” and “Double”, “Visitor” for a limited number of meetings, “Under 35” and “Corporate”. We are also introducing an additional membership category, “Patron”, which will offer even more privileges.
