Dni Turbinykh

[Ruder, Cynthia A]

Dear SEELANGtsy:



By way of background...2012-2013 has been designated the "Year of Russia" by the UK College of Arts & Sciences.  As part of the activities in conjunction with this year-long event, we in Russian Studies are collaborating with colleagues from various disciplines across campus to provide diverse and original programming.



Orginally we had hoped to stage DNI TURBINYKH, but after thinking about the project and reading the play a colleague in our Theater program got inspired and is planning instead on writing a play about Mikhail Bulgakov in general and the play Dni Turbinykh (and the novel The White Guard) in particular.  He is not a Slavist, so he is most interested in corresponding with scholars who could provide some guidance, suggestions of sources, etc. so that he is as fully "read" as he can be before he embarks on writing the play.  He speaks no Russian, so he has to rely on scholarship/sources in translation.  Of course I am willing to help him, but I am not a Bulgakov specialist which is why I am hoping that those of you on the list who are might be willing to assist if necessary with his questions, etc.



He and I will be collaborating on a course that brings together his theater students and our Russian Studies students in an effort to inform each other's work--our students are exposed to theater, his students are exposed to one of the 20th centuries greatest writers and Russian/Soviet culture to boot.  It promises to be a win-win for all involved.



If you can suggest sources or would be willing to have him contact you with questions, please reply to me OFF LIST at cynthia.ruder at uky.edu<mailto:cynthia.ruder at uky.edu>.



Thanks very much in advance for your assistance.  Best regards, Cindy Ruder
