About me
I received my Ph.D. in Russian Literature from Moscow State University (1989.) In 1989-1995 I worked in the Institute of World Literature (IMLI) of the Russian Academy of Science. Since 1995 I taught undergraduate and graduate courses at Cornell University, Middlebury College, and Georgia Tech. In 2002 – 2003 I was a Regional Fellow of Davis Center for Advanced Russian Study at Harvard University. I published two books and about 60 articles in Russian, American, British, German, and French journals and collections. My book Mikhail Gershenzon: His Life and His Myth (1998) covers my study of Russian Modernism and intellectual trends of the first decades of the 20th century. My second monograph Myths of the Empire: Literature and Politics in time of Catherine II (2006) investigates interactions of politics, poetry, royal ceremonies, and arts in eighteenth century Russia.
