Dear SEELANGERS:
        I'd appreciate your help with any information for the
following queries students have made.  I've suggested materials to
them already, but was interested in finding out what some of you
might recommend.  Please reply to me OFF LIST at raeruder at pop.uky.edu
        Many thanks in advance for your help.

The queries are:

1.      The effects of urbanization on Russian cities, city dwellers
and country folk.  Literary, cultural, ethnographic, etc., sources in
English.  (I've already recommended Katerina Clark's book on
Petersburg, as well as literary works on Petersburg--Pushkin, Gogol,
Bely.)

2.      19th century education for Russian women.  Comparative
studies or impressions of English or American visitors regarding the
Russian educational system and the education of Russian women in
particular.  Travel literature that might devote part of its
narrative to this topic.  (I've already recommended Larry Holmes'
work on Soviet/Russian education.)

3.      Eisenshtein, especially sources in English (aside from Jay
Leyda) on Ivan Grozny and Aleksandr Nevsky, especially in the context
of the 1930s.  I've already passed along the information from the
2000 AAASS panel on this topic to the student.
