Ráday House of Books wants to set up the shop within a shop with the help of Russian publisher Zebra Je, which Erofeyev heads.
Director of the Russian Cultural Centre Sergey Borozgin said a Russian book shop in Hungary would serve to bring the people of Russia and Hungary closer together. Hungarians are showing a growing interest in Russian culture, he added.
Erofeyev's father worked for Stalin, but the writer said he trusted Santa Claus more than the Soviet dictator in his childhood, which might be considered his first dissident act. "One should not be afraid of history," he added.
The evening was the first in a series of events entitled Central-Eastern Europe and the Russians to be hosted by Ráday House of Books.
