Program

Female voices and faces in the Russian 20th century

The course starts with a historical analysis, which aims to provide the categories the student needs for interpreting the complex socio-cultural dynamics that characterize the Russian 20th century. Some women were protagonists and others, the majority, were victims and witnesses in this century shaped by ideology and violence. The course offers a historical-cultural journey into the Soviet world through the voices of female writers and the faces of fictional characters.
