CL 162 Writing Under Authoritarian Regimes: Soviet Russia and Beyond

This course offers a survey of the texts and challenges of writing literature in Russia and Eastern Europe since the Soviet regime. From the Russian Revolution and the Cold War, to the rise of authoritarian regimes in our time, we will examine how authors negotiated artistic freedom and state censorship in places where writing was a matter of life and death. Particular attention will be paid to minoritized groups (women, ethnic minorities, and political dissidents).
