Emerging Trends -- Database of contemporary Russian culture online

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear friends:

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of a new collection of 
online materials related to post-Soviet Russian culture in a variety of 
spheres: literature, history, cinema, television, radio, theater, politics, 
religion, etc. Unlike other collections, this is not merely a list of URL's 
but an anthology of actual texts culled from the Internet, mostly in Russian. 
It includes also 18 audio programs (with full text transcriptions) courtesy 
of RFE/RL's Russian Service and several video lectures by Chulaki.

Emerging Trends:

Please BOOKMARK the site in your browser (Add Bookmark in Netscape, Add 
Favorite in Internet Explorer).

While this collection is not currently being updated, it is always possible 
that it will be updated at some point in the future.

Emerging Trends is a strictly NON-COMMERCIAL project designed for the benefit 
of students and faculty of Russian, Russian scholars and the general public.

This web site is a work-in-progress. It incorporates selections from a growing 
video, audio and print archive of contemporary Russian culture and serves as 
an integral teaching tool for a course taught at Yale by Rita Lipson entitled 
“Emerging Trends in Russian Culture: The Icon and the Fax.” Grateful 
acknowledgement is hereby made to the Yale Slavic Department for their 
sponsorship and support through the ITS/Library Yale Grant.
