  • Summary Statement of Research Interests

    As a scholar of memory, with extensive academic background in literary and visual studies, I am primarily interested in the relationship between history, its artistic mediations, and individual and communal identities. My current research focuses on the artistic mediations of the Soviet past in the contemporary Russophone novels and films.
