Faculty in the Russian program of GSLL unequivocally condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Among us are faculty from Ukraine as well as from Russia, Belarus, and the United States, and this unprovoked war represents not only a flagrant disregard of international law, but an imminent threat to family members and friends. In the coming days and weeks, we will address this unfolding crisis in our courses, but we will also continue teaching and holding events on other topics. We believe that the most constructive thing we can do is carry on with our mission to educate students and the broader public about the complex history and diverse cultures of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet space.

We encourage our students to learn more about Ukraine and the war by visiting the websites for the following research centers:

The Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures is delighted to announce that Dr. Anastasiya Osipova is joining our faculty as Assistant Professor. Dr. Osipova is a scholar of Russian/Soviet and Eastern European twentieth- and twenty-first-century culture. She holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from New York University and a B.A. in Comparative Literature and Theory from the University of Pennsylvania. Her current research explores Soviet materialist aesthetics of the 1920s-30s and the reception of this theoretical legacy among practicing European writers and artists today. Dr. Osipova has published a range of original essays on these subjects, and she is also active as a writer, translator, and publisher of contemporary art and poetry in Russia and Ukraine. She speaks both Russian and Ukrainian as native languages.

This fall, Dr. Osipova will be teaching two classes: Twentieth-Century Russian Literature and Art and Red Star Trek: Russian Science Fiction between Utopia and Dystopia. View her full bio.
