Research summary
My first education was in History and History of Art
and these both fields remain of great interests to me. Coming to the West, I
changed my professional field, teaching and researching Russian language and
literature. I published first monograph on Venedikt Erofeev, the celebrated
author whose novel ‘Moskva-Petushki’ was forbidden in the USSR. I have written
and published a number of articles on different topics of Russian literature
and culture.
My current project is a monograph about the life and
writing of one of the greatest post-war Russian writers Georgii Vladimov,
winner of Russian Booker Prize of 1995.
I coordinate and enjoy teaching Russian MA courses at
SSEES which is a very interesting linguistic experience and a stimulating
intellectual occupation.
