This online taster session will give you an insight into what it's like to study Russian at university. You'll have the chance to hear from a Russian academic, participate in a taster lecture and engage with current undergraduates.

Russian Literature Speaks

Russian culture is famous for its big novels, but what did its literature do during the eventful twentieth century?

Its political significance meant that it was exposed to the full force of political control and yet literature bore, and continues to bear, witness to Russia's political upheavals and their aftermath. In this way it preserved individual voices and experiences in all their immediacy.

This session gives an overview of the twentieth century and ends by considering how Russian literature acts as an outlet for dissenting views of the current Russian regime's war against Ukraine.

This session is suitable for students in years 12 and 13.

Its a good way to introduce yourself to the prospect of studying at university and gives an idea into what student life could be like
