Extractions: THE 200th ANNIVERSARY OF THE MOSCOW KREMLIN MUSEUM A unique museum and one of the world's biggest architectural ensembles, the Moscow Kremlin is also a national shrine and a symbol of the Russian statehood. The cogged walls of red brick and towers with gun-slots overlooking the river Moskva make the Kremlin look like an unassailable fortress. However, when you step inside, you see spacious and cozy squares, beautiful palaces and white-stone churches topped with gilded cupolas. The Kremlin is the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation. In 1156 Moscow's founder, Prince Yuri Dolgoruky, built a wooden fortress to protect his city from attacking enemy forces. For more than two centuries afterwards the split Russian principalities were under Tatar rule that lasted until the late 15th century when Prince Ivan III of Moscow obtained independence from the Golden Horde. He married princess Sofia Paleologue, a niece of the last Byzantine emperor. So when Byzantine fell to Turks, Ivan III had all reasons to consider himself a successor to the Byzantine statehood. The center of Orthodox Christianity shifted to Moscow. The Byzantine state emblem - a double-headed eagle - became the emblem of Russia. Ivan III now wanted a new residence that would match his new status as Czar of Russia and launched a major reconstruction of the Kremlin, for which he invited best Russian masters and architects from Italy.

Extractions: PUSHKIN AND EUROPE Marking the 200th anniversary of Pushkin's birth. Pushkinists get together in Moscow By Milena Faustova In advance of the 200th anniversary of Pushkin's birth European scholars have come to Moscow to discuss the subject "Pushkin and Europe". This is the first time that such prominent scholars as Danuta Pivovarska from Krakow, Efim Etkind from Paris, George Niva from Geneva and Rolf-Dietrich Kail from Bonn have met in Moscow to speak of Pushkin and Europe. In Poland Pushkin's work gained fame in his lifetime. Many compared him with Adam Mickiewics. "Pushkin's popularity was boosted by a legend that he was a friend of Mickiewics'," says Krakow University Professor Danuta Pivovarska. "That was what shaped public opinion in Poland about Pushkin as a genius of the entire Slav people. But it was thanks to Mickiewics, one of Pushkin's first translators, that Pushkin's name ranked next to the name of Byron. Both Pushkin and Mickiewics were fond of Byron's poetry and translated it into their languages." "Ordinary poets believed it impossible to re-create the beauty and innovative character of Byron's verses," wrote the Polish Pushkinist Vladimir Spasovich in the middle of the 19th century. "Only Pushkin in his verses could reveal the miracles in Byron's poetry not seen by ordinary versemongers."

Extractions: MWF 7 (DR. BURAK) [3 credits] This general education course is an overview of Russian culture (literature, visual and performing arts, education, philosophy, religion, ethics and esthetics) from a historical perspective covering the period from the adoption of Christianity by Kievan Rus in the 10th century to the epoch-making Bolshevik revolution in October 1917. Particular emphasis will be placed on the relevance of the Russian cultural heritage of that period to life in present-day Russia. The course would be a logical beginning for studying Russian culture for those who are thinking of minoring or majoring in Russian. Course work will consist of readings at home (about 50 pages a week), watching illustrative excerpts from films, class discussions, a mid-term exam and a final exam. The course will be taught entirely in English. No knowledge of the Russian language or culture is required. (General education credits in humanities and international diversity)

The course is interdisciplinary, focusing on four different areas of Russian culture: history, literature, religion, and the history of art. All of the readings and classwork are in English.

Russia Abroad Introduction Bio-bibliographical Resources Bibliographic Resources Miscellaneous General Resources UIUC Call Number: Slavic Stacks 325.247G451 In his foreword to Glad's book, Victor Terras writes that it is an historical survey "of a category of literature that is defined by extra-literary circumstances." Thus, this work, which begins with the East-Slav siege of Byzantium in 906 A.D. and ends with the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, lays particular emphasis on historical and political details as it narrates the development of Russian life and literature abroad. The text itself is enhanced by a chronology of events that is more than 100 pages long and an index of personal names. Unfortunately, the long list of secondary sources is arranged alphabetically rather than by subject which would have been more advantageous to the user.
