Course 15 credits • RYSD12
The course presents an overview of the development of Russian-speaking literature from late 10th century until today. Emphasis is placed on the different literary epochs and the transitions between these, above all during 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The literature is analysed in relation to the cultural, philosophic and political schools of thought that characterised this literature such as the inheritance from the orthodox church, communism, revolutions, wartime culture and political terror.
