Description

This is a revised edition of the first volume of the Russian Through Propaganda series, now with free video lessons via YouTube. This new series of Russian textbooks provides a rigorous but rewarding approach to the language. It assumes no prior knowledge of Russian, and is intended for ambitious beginners, or more advanced students seeking a highly structured review of the language. It assumes that its readers are interested in long-term mastery of the language, within the rich historical, cultural, and literary contexts that often draw students to Russian in the first place. It therefore takes the time to explain challenging grammar topics in depth, striving to provide the full picture as clearly as possible. It is richly illustrated with Soviet-era propaganda posters, whose slogans serve as examples of each lesson's grammar. It is structured as a series of 50 daily lessons, which build upon one another and give a clear sense of progress. It is the equivalent of a semester of intensive college-level study of Russian. Visit www.russianthroughpropaganda.com for more information and to access video lessons.

Author Biography:

I hold a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Princeton University, and a BA from Vanderbilt University, where I majored in German and History, with a minor in Russian. After college I spent a year in Russia on a Fulbright scholarship. Later on, I worked for two years in Russia as translator at KPMG, first in their Moscow office (in a skyscraper overlooking the city!), and then in the St. Petersburg office. Today I am a lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton, where I've taught a number of different courses: first- and second-year Russian, Polish, and Czech; an introduction to (Old) Church Slavonic and the development of Slavic; a seminar on late Soviet rock music; and East European Literature and Politics. I also work as a freelance translator, mostly from Russian, French, and German.
