Course Description


Instructor: Elizabeth Deschenes, MA Clinical Psychology
Peek into a land most know little about by exploring Russian and Soviet literature created by rebels, exiles and patriots. Using contemporary film clips, music videos and commentary from other luminaries, we will delve further into the Russian psyche and soul. This class will do a psychological analysis of Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, explore Zamyatin’s dystopian We, watch Bulgakov’s social satire Master and Margarita and read Nobel prize winner Svetlana Alexievich’s work on Soviet woman snipers in WWII. We will conclude with a preview of a Russian film version of Mata Hari. The course builds on the fall quarter’s Russian Lit class, but is designed so that newcomers will feel comfortable if this is their first course. Students are responsible for obtaining the reading material in book format. Reading the books will enhance the class experience but not mandatory to enjoy the class
