Russianists + Love for Russian Writers = Peredelkino 💜

Today, our Russianists embarked on a journey to get better acquainted with Russia's literary giants — in Peredelkino!

📌 Peredelkino is the legendary writers' colony located just southwest of Moscow.

Peredelkino was set up in the 1930s and became an epicentre of literature in the Soviet days. Some of the most prominent writers of the 20th century lived and worked here. At one time or another Peredelkino became home to Boris Pasternak, Korney Chukovsky, Isaac Babel, Konstantin Paustovsky, Bulat Okudzhava, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Bella Akhmadulina and many others.

The day started with a meeting with Asya Volodina, a current resident. Asya shared her creative journey, her experience learning and teaching Estonian.

Next, the group took a tour of old Peredelkino, visiting the houses of Russian writers. And — shh, it's a secret — they even made a stop at the local cemetery, where they paid their respects at the graves of Boris Pasternak and Robert Rozhdestvensky.

What a day filled with literary inspiration and a deeper appreciation for Russian literature! 😍

What's going on with our InteRussia journalism participants? 🔍

On May 23, our fellows visited the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

There, they met with Deputy Director Vasily Kuznetsov, who gave them a crash course on the institute's history and international collaborations. He also shed light on Russia's foreign policy priorities in the Middle East region.

The conversation then took an exciting turn as they delved into the nitty-gritty of security in North Africa, the recent flare-up of tensions between Palestine and Israel, and the current state of Russia-Egypt relations.

Lots of new information for our participants! Keeping our finger on the pulse!

Immersing in the Russian Literature 🪶

Our Russian Studies fellows have embarked on intensive weeks of study at the Pushkin Institute in Moscow. With three lectures per day, these eager learners are diving deep into the fascinating world of Russian Studies and literature.

The lectures cover a wide range of topics, from the interplay between philology and culture to the role of reading complex texts in personal development.

For example, yesterday’s lectures included:

✅ Corpus research in language didactics and the corpus projects of the Pushkin Institute

✅ The phenomenon of the Golden Age and the Silver Age in Russian literature

At the end of each day, the fellows meet with their scientific supervisors to discuss the projects they are working on during their stay in Russia. This hands-on approach ensures that our fellows receive personalized guidance and support as they apply their newfound knowledge to real-world projects.
