School of Languages & Cultures - Russian Taster session
This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study Russian at university. You'll have the chance to hear from a Russian academic, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.
Russian Literature Speaks
Russian culture is famous for its big novels... but what did its literature do during the eventful twentieth century? Its political significance meant that it was exposed to the full force of political control -- and yet literature bore, and continues to bear, witness to Russia's political upheavals and their aftermath. In this way it preserved individual voices and experiences in all their immediacy. This presentation gives an overview of the twentieth century and ends by considering how Russian literature acts as an outlet for dissenting views of the current Russian regime's war against Ukraine.
It was really helpful in gaining an insight into what studying the subject I am interested in would be like, and to have queries about the course clarified
