Coverage of CEELBAS Expertise in Russian-Language Press

Following a new strategic partnership between CEELBAS and The Russian Media House publishing company, a series of articles covering the expertise of CEELBAS partners will be appearing in the UK Russian-language press from January 2010.

Article 1 - Dr Maria Rubins (UCL School of Slavonic Studies): ‘New Style’ January 2010 (issue 79).

In this article Dr Maria Rubins of SSEES UCL presented her research on Russian Émigré Prose, discussing the various cultural-linguistic complexities faced by bilingual Russian émigré writers past and present, and their difficulties gaining recognition and acceptance whilst working within a foreign literary milieu. With particular reference to Russian émigré publications in interwar France, Dr Rubins described her work as an editor and publisher of these rare and often long out-of-print texts, highlighting the orthographic and technical challenges of such work. The original article (in Russian) is available here.
