Research topic:听"Growing up Soviet: Writing the Self in Male Teenagers鈥� Diaries (1930s 鈥�1941)"
Research My current project is focused on adolescent diaries in the late 1930s Soviet Russia. I seek to explore how male teenagers experienced growing up through self-writing in the pre-war Stalinist era. I analyse their diaries as discursive spaces for mastering cultural patterns in order to socialize in the Soviet environment and to navigate increasingly complex intellectual and emotional experiences as they moved from childhood to adulthood. At the same time, I regard keeping a diary as a coming-of-age practice in its own right, playing a vital role in the integration of young people into the Stalinist society and culture.
Before coming to 澳门六合彩开奖记录, I completed a BA in Russian and Spanish philology at Russian State University for Humanities and an MA in History at Moscow Higher School of Social and Economic Sciences. My research encompassed a variety of topics, including Soviet science fiction literature, visual aspects of the 20th-century Russian poetry, and history discourse on Wikipedia.听
