posts in Russian

[HARRINGTON A.K.]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I'd like to draw your attention to two currently advertised posts in Russian at the University of Durham:

 

http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AEQ168/lecturer-in-russian/

 

http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AEP881/lecturer-in-russian/

 

One is a conventional grant-related replacement post for 9-months, while the other post is associated with our new Centre for Russian Cultural and Critical Studies, for 1 year in the first instance.

 

I'd be grateful if you could draw these to the attention of suitably qualified candidates who may be interested in one or both.

 

Many thanks

 

Alex Harrington

Subject: [SEELANGS] translation question

 

Дорогие Seelangцы, 

 

I've been struggling with a translation, so I thought I'd turn to the experts for help:

 

>From a Iuliia Drunina poem: Вили молнии.  Тучи вились  

 

Lightning struck?  Lightening was striking (to connote the plurality? And wouldn't lightening usually ударяет? "Beating down," perhaps?  and storm clouds were evasive),

 

And then there's the second phrase...storm clouds meandered?  Were evasive?  Neither of those variants sounds right, so I would be grateful for any guidance!

 

Thank you, Adrienne
