a content-based course on corruption

[Perova Natasha]

Dear Elena
the following books (published by Glas in English translation) are about 
"current practices" in today's Russia:
Roman Senchin, Minus, a novel.

An old Siberian town surviving the perestroika dislocation


(also his novel THE YELTYSHEVS -- I have a long excerpt in English)



Maria Galina, Iramifications, a novel.

Adventures of today's Russian traders in medieval East



Sea Stories. Army Stories by Alexander Pokrovsky and Alexander Terekhov

realities of life inside the army today



Alexander Selin, The New Romantic, modern parables



Valery Ronshin, Living a Life, Totally Absurd Tales



War & Peace, army stories versus women's stories:

a compelling portrait of post-post-perestroika Russia



Squaring the Circle. Winners of Debut (young authors view of life in 
provincial Russia.)



Mendeleev Rock, two short novels by Andrei Kuzechkin from Novgorod and Pavel 
Kostin from Kaliningrad.



And of course this portrait of current Russia through its colloquialisms:

Michele Berdy, The Russian Word's Worth.

A humorous and informative guide to the Russian language, culture and 
translation.



In fact, most of our other titles would be pertinent too.

Subject: [SEELANGS] a content-based course on corruption



Dear colleagues,

I am putting together a content-based course on corruption and informal 
practices in Russia.
Could you please recommend any films/documentaries/books on this topic? I am 
interested in presenting some current trends as well as some historical 
perspectives.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Elena Denisova-Schmidt
