Subject: [SEELANGS] Short Story in Translation: Russian Citizenship and 
National Identity


Dear SEELANGers:

A colleague of mine in history is teaching a course next semester on 
citizenship and national identity in the European context.  He asked me to 
recommend a short story written by a Russian writer, widely available in 
translation for his students who don't read in Russian, to include in his 
syllabus.

My thoughts run in a thousand different directions on this question and I've 
come up with numerous films that I think are relevant, but I'm wondering if 
you might recommend some short stories by Russian authors that could be 
found in translation that perhaps have worked well for you in this or a 
related context.

With thanks and best wishes,

Ben Rifkin
