Housed in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies, the Russian program is designed to provide students with the necessary skills to communicate effectively in Russian. The Russian program also seeks to familiarize students with influential literary, critical and cinematographic works in Russian, studied within their cultural and historical context. Furthermore, the program introduces students to various ethnicities, their histories and roles in shaping today's Russia. Finally, it provides them with an understanding of key social and political trends as well as challenges defining the Soviet and the post-Soviets eras.
