Join us for the talk on Gulag Literature this Thursday, October 12, at 6pm!
Gulag literature is unique in creating a raw, burning narrative of an eyewitness - a single human life against a system of oppression. As modern scholars continue to work with this tradition, new interpretations are being born.
Landon Kramer, a PhD student in Berkeley’s Comparative Literature department will present his novel Prisoner’s Cinema, where a homeless drag queen in a small Midwestern town comes across a train full of Gulag prisoners and eventually trades places with one of them.

We really appreciate your interest in RSSA and we are glad that you are supporting us on our mission to create a community on campus. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances we have to take a temporary break from organizing social events. We understand that socials are our most attended events and we hope to come back with some fun socials next semester. However, we still have lectures scheduled in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned!

Welcome to the next lecture in our series! It will be conducted at 7 pm this Thursday and the speaker is Polina Barskova.
Polina is a poet and a historian of Leningrad - Saint-Petersburg - Piter, as she herself puts it. In an interview about her recently published book Living Pictures, Polina said: "I strived to deliver my characters from the realm of historical amnesia." Her work of dismantling historical pseudo-truths and half-truths becomes more and more political today as Putin's regime recruits the distorted narratives of the past to justify the ongoing war in Ukraine. During the lecture, we will explore this interaction of past and present, which is one of the defining processes for modern-day Russia.
