Decoding the 1920s: A Reader for Advanced Learners of Russian
Nila Friedberg · Portland State University
Literature of the 1920s is a major part of the Russian canon, but is notoriously difficult for learners of Russian to read in the original, due both to its stylistic complexity and the relative obscurity of its historical, political, and cultural references. And yet, this decade is crucial for understanding Russia – not only in the Soviet period, but also today.
