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 and RUS prefixes are described under Slavic studies.
