Russian literature and politics often seem inseparable, and this course illustrates this phenomenon by employing twentieth-century Russian literature to examine Soviet society. Representative works by writers such as Zalygin, Rasputin, Grekova, and Aitmatov will shed light on Soviet agricultural, educational, religious, and environmental policies. [Note: Taught in English. This course will have a Slavic language component for students in REES academic plans.] (Cross-listed with PSCI 368)
