Description
In Russian culture, the two major cities, Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, represent the two sides of Russian culture: its past in Orthodoxy and Russianness and its
future in European culture and internationalism. The culture of Saint-Petersburg both reflects the city and redefines the meaning of the city for the future. This class
will examine Russian culture within the context of the city itself, providing students with a holistic look at an embedded culture.
- Prerequisites: Previous course work in Russian literature, film, or history is highly recommended.
- Readings and class discussions in English.
