Hello, Nicole ...
Your student would, I am sure, benefit greatly from the book "Afgantsy:
The Russians in Afghanistan, 1979-89", written by the former British
Ambassador in the USSR, Sir Rodric Braithwaite ..... the beauty of this
work is that it offers very fascinating views into Soviet society during
the Afghan conflict, while at the same time dissects in some detail the war
and the Soviet presence in Afghanistan as seen primarily from the Russian
viewpoint.
Best,

Subject: Russian Emigrant Culture in North America
Dear SEELANGSers,
I am preparing a course on Russian emigrant culture in North America, and I am having some trouble finding relevant materials.
So far, in my list are Vera Kishinevsky's Russian Immigrants in the United States, the last chapter of John Glad's Russian Abroad, and some Russian (Jewish)-American fiction (Lara Vapnyar, Mark Budman, Anya Ulinich, Michael Idov etc.)
I would be thankful for any suggestions anyone might have: monographs, articles, movies, documentaries...
Please reply off-line to inesgdlp8mrta at yahoo.ca
Thank you,
Ines Garcia

Subject: Re: Russian Emigrant Culture in North America
Some more or less obvious texts that come to mind (assuming that you need
texts that are available in English):
- Joseph Brodsky's essays
*- *novels and stories of Sergei Dovlatov
- Ludmila Ulitskaya's *The Funeral Party*
- Eduard Limonov, *It's Me, Eddie*
*
*
A few recent critical studies come to mind, too: Adrian Wanner just
published a book on this topic, *Out of Russia: Fictions of a New
Translingual Diaspora*; Sanna Turoma's *Brodsky Abroad*; there was a volume
of Slavic and East European Journal a couple of years ago devoted to the
subject that had very good articles on topics like New York in emigre
Russian writing, etc.
There's more: this is just off the top of my head.

Subject: Re: Russian Emigrant Culture in North America
I recommend a recent Russian publication, Михаил Близнюк, Прекрасная Маруся Сава,
Москва: Русский путь, 2007.
This work documents Russian cabaret society in New York from the 1920's to the
1980's. Besides providing a biography of Marusia Sava, the work also provides mini-bios
of scores of Russian entertainers (including my father, Lonya Kalbouss). It also provides
a lot of background on the Russian emigrant culture in New York.

I think Sasha was referring to Olga Matich: The Third Wave, Russian Literature in Emigration, 1984.
And you'll of course have to include P. Vajl and Genis.

Subject: Re: Russian Emigrant Culture in North America
If you are interested in depictions as well as studies, you may want to have a look at Natalia Medvedeva's "Liubov' s alkogolem" and Villi Tokarev's songs. Psoy Korolenko's song "Abrasha" is probably worth a listen, too.
