Extractions: The student of Russian first develops a basic competence in the language as a means of communicationreading, speaking, aural comprehension, and writing. This competence is then applied to Russian literature, Russia's human past and present. The study of the language and its embodiment in literature and culture can, therefore, serve students whose specializations are in any academic discipline, enhancing their capabilities for research and their appreciation of aesthetic and cultural diversity. The recommended sequence of study for all students with an interest in Russian language covers four semesters (Russian 101, 102, 221, 222). Those entering with a previous background in Russian are placed in this sequence on the basis of a comprehensive test and an interview with the departmental staff. Opportunities for further study include courses in syntactical and literary analysis of the language and seminars on a broad variety of topics chosen by students. (See Independent Study The department also offers courses on modern Russian literature in translation (Russian 243, 251, 265, 351, 361). These provide access to Russian literature and culture for students who do not have a command of the language. Russian majors are encouraged to broaden and deepen their understanding of the Russian experience by exploring other disciplineshistory, philosophy, the social sciences, and the languages and literatures of other national heritages. With this background, they may seek careers in teaching and scholarship, government, library science and informational services, and international trade. In addition, study in mathematics and the natural sciences in conjunction with a Russian major can open doors to many other careers.

Extractions: Topics: ALL DAY SEMINAR: Sat., Feb. 8, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The culture and politics of the modern world-in many ways-owe as much to Russia as they do to Western Europe or the United States. In fact, Russia's influence was profound. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Russian revolutionaries devised strategies to fight the tsarist autocracy. Their ideas were extremist and utopian, but they struck a chord abroad among countercultures, fringe political movements, anti-imperialists, and artists and writers. At the same time, Russian art and culture-from the Ballets Russes to avant-garde art-made a strong and indelible mark.

Extractions: Russian and Soviet Science and Technology, Page 2 GENERAL HISTORIES The best overview in English of the history of science in Russia before 1917 is Alexander Vucinich's two-volume study Science in Russian Culture (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford Univ. Press, 1963, 1970). A treatment of the Soviet period, somewhat incomplete in its coverage, is Zhores Medvedev, Soviet Science (New York: Norton, 1978). A topic in the history of Soviet science that touches on almost all scientific fields is the role of Marxism. For the 1920s and early 1930s the basic work on this topic is David Joravsky, Soviet Marxism and Natural Science (New York: Columbia Univ. Press, 1961). For the role of Marxism in later periods see Loren R. Graham, Science and Philosophy in the Soviet Union (New York: Knopf 1972). The latter book has been expanded and updated to cover events up to the middle 1980s in Graham's Science, Philosophy, and Human Behavior in the Soviet Union

Extractions: T he first few years of Soviet rule were marked by an extraordinary outburst of social and cultural change. Although the Bolsheviks had maintained complete control of the economy during the civil war, Lenin decided at its end that a partial return to a market economy would help the country recover from the destruction of the previous three years. His New Economic Policy, or NEP, brought about a period of relative prosperity, allowing the young Soviet government to consolidate its political position and rebuild the country's infrastructure. This was also the period during which the Russian Avant-Garde reached its height, developing the radical new styles of Constructivism, Futurism, and Suprematism . Although the country still faced enormous challenges, there was a widespread sense of optimism and opportunity. As was the case with the Napoleonic Wars, the Soviet Union emerged from World War II considerably stronger than it had been before the war. Although the country suffered enormous devastation and lost more than twenty million lives, it had gained considerable territory and now ranked as one of the two great world powers along with the United States. Nonetheless, life in the country continued to suffer. Industrial production was once again concentrated on heavy industry, agricultural failures produced widespread famine, political freedoms were restricted even further, and another huge wave of purges was carried out. As the Cold War got underway, an increasing proportion of the Soviet Union's resources were funneled into military projects, further exacerbating the quality of life. Stalin remained in power until 1953, when he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

http://www.yale.edu/yup/books/067534.htm

Extractions: Russia Through Women's Eyes Autobiographies from Tsarist Russia Edited by Toby W. Clyman and Judith Vowles Nineteenthcentury Russia has been known to the West mainly through the writings of men. Russian women, however, were far from silent and have left vivid testimony about their families, their education, their careers, and their country. This collection presents, for the first time in English, the lives of eleven remarkable Russian women as told in their own words. These autobiographies span the century and cover a wide range of classes and professions. Among the authors are women of the gentry (Natalia Grot), the merchant class (Aleksandra Kobiakova), the lower bureaucracy (Praskovia Tatlina), and the serf class (Liubov NikulinaKositskaia). They include writers (Elizaveta Lvova, Anastasiia Verbitskaia), a journalist (Emiliia Pimenova), an actress in the provincial theater (Liubov NikulinaKositskaia), and two physicians (Varvara KashevarovaRudneva, Ekaterina Slanskaia)one the first woman to earn a medical degree in Russia, the other a doctor in the slums of St. Petersburg. Their memoirs show their fierce engagement in the debate over woman's nature, her duties and responsibilities, her upbringing, and her place in society. Each autobiography is introduced and annotated by Toby Clyman and Judith Vowles, who also provide a general introduction that situates these writings within the Russian and Western autobiographical traditions.
