8 credits This intensive course is
designed as a continuation for students who have completed Beginning Russian
101. Our focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills continues
through cultural context, video materials, songs, and literary analysis. This
course culminates in a 4-week June program in St. Petersburg, where students
will attend classes (earning an additional 4 credits) and participate in a
cultural program while living in Russian families. Successful completion of the
intensive sequence qualifies the student to pursue semester or yearlong study
in St. Petersburg at Smolny College of the Liberal Arts,
a joint educational venture of Bard and St. Petersburg University. Class size: 22

Designed to accommodate the needs of advanced second- and
third-year students of Russian, this course focuses on such aspects of
communication in the Russian academic context as listening comprehension,
clarity and stylistic variety of self-expression in oral speech and in writing,
and idiomatic competence. The readings include non-fiction texts representing
academic writing in a wide array of disciplines, from political studies to art
history, and from psychology to environmental and urban studies, as well as
poetry and fiction. The goal of the course is to help students acquire
vocabulary and build language skills that will allow them to participate in a
semester-long program at a Russian college or university as well as conduct
independent research in Russian. Class size: 15

Designed to enhance students’ mastery of the Russian language
and improve their cultural awareness, this course examines key developments,
personalities and texts in Russian popular music and culture c. 1960 to the
present. While certain concepts, genres and themes remain central (i.e. Russian
singer-songwriter tradition; Popular Soviet Song; Rock-n-roll as Entertainment
and Music of Social Protest; Russian chanson and the prison subculture; the
Russian anecdote and comedy), the course also explores cultural marginalia,
such as select popular television programs and game and talk shows of the
post-Soviet era. Conducted in Russian, the course focuses on students’
understanding of advanced Russian grammar in context and acquisition of new
vocabulary and idiomatic expressions. Class size: 15
