Russian studies
Coordinator: S M Vladiv-Glover
In addition to its majors in Russian and Ukrainian (see Slavic studies), the
department offers a minor sequence in Russian studies comprising subjects on
Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet literature, culture and society which have no
language prerequisite or corequisite. The minor can be taken in one of two
ways, (a) or (b).
(a) At first and second year
Students take RSS1010 (Soviet literature and culture) and RSS1020 (Post-Soviet
literature and culture), and then two of the following subjects: RSS2090
(Russian 19th century literature and society), SLA2170 (Belief and perception),
SLA2530 (Modernism) and SLA2910 (The novel in Eastern Europe).
(b) At second and third year
Students take RSS2010 (Soviet literature and culture) and RSS2020 (Post-Soviet
literature and culture) followed by at least twelve points at third-year level
selected from RSS3090 (Russian nineteenth-century literature and society),
SLA3170 (Belief and perception), SLA3530 (Modernism), SLA3810 (Comparative
drama of the twentieth century), SLA3830 (Soviet structuralism and semiotics),
RUS3410 (Tolstoy and Dostoevsky) and SLA3910 (The novel in Eastern Europe). Not
all of these subjects will be available in any given year. Subjects with SLA
