You are warmly invited to an upcoming Slavonic Dept/CamCREES seminar by Dr Simon Huxtable entitled: ‘Making News Soviet: Changing Visions of Soviet Information after Stalin, 1953-1970′ to be held on Tuesday, 17 February, 5-6:30pm in the Latimer Room at Clare College.

This term the Slavonic Dept. and CamCREES are running a series of seminars spotlighting new research on Russian and Soviet mass culture. Examining a diverse range of cultural phenomena speakers will explore topics including the Russian and Soviet experience of modernity, the shifting relationship between cultural producers and consumers in late socialism, and the sensory dimensions of Soviet culture for 'the masses'.

The Department of Slavonic Studies warmly congratulates Maria Montague and Danielle Craig (who are both studying Russian and Ukrainian) for their work on a virtuosic French-language production of Eugene Ionesco’s absurdist romp The Bald Prima Donna ( La Cantatrice Chauve , 1950) at the Corpus Playroom.
