RUS 128W: Russian Civilization
4.00 Credits
University of Rochester
Russian Civilization from its beginnings a thousand years ago to the present day. Each unit will cover historical and cultural background as well as literary texts. We will examine important national "myths" (narratives with a variable connection to the historical record) that govern the Russians' understanding of their history and culture, including: the Golden Age of Kiev, Moscow as the Third Rome, and the myths surrounding the city of Petersburg. We will analyze traditional tensions in Russian civilization which prevail today, such as those between: chaos and order, foreign influence and a strong national identity, innovation and tradition, and between radical skepticism and faith. Readings will include: Russian fairy tales and saints' lives, excerpts from the autobiography of the 17th century heretic Avvakum, tales by Pushkin and Gogol, one of Dostoevsky's most powerful and influential novels ("The Devils/Possessed"), and a wide range of materials from the twentieth century. In English.

RUS 265: Russian Lit Between The Revs
4.00 Credits
University of Rochester
The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 not only marked the end of a social(ist) experiment, but also closed a period in Russian cultural history. This course will look at the best (and a little of the worst) Russian fiction written during the Soviet period. We start with two novels describing the first decade of the new regime (‘Envy’ and ‘The Golden Calf’), read a Socialist Realist classic of the 1930s (‘How the Steel was Tempered’), sample literary tributes to Stalin, and discuss a manuscript that “would not burn” (Bulgakov’s ‘Master & Margarita’). Solzhenitsyn’s ‘One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich’ closes our discussion of the Stalinist period and marks a thaw in Russian culture that leads through Vasily Shukshin’s Siberian stories and Yury Trifonov’s Moscow prose in the sixties and seventies. The sensational debut of Tatyana Tolstaya’s short stories closes the Soviet period and anticipates the literary renewal of the immediate post-Soviet period. In English.
