Time to present: research defense day for our Russian studies fellows
After a month of hard work and countless consultations, our fellows in Russian studies finally presented their research drafts at the Pushkin Institute — the result of weeks of writing under the close guidance of their academic supervisors.
Here’s just a glimpse of what they’ve been working on:
🔍 Teaching Russian as a foreign language to Algerian learners 🔍 Pragmatic adaptation in audiovisual translation from Arabic into Russian (based on the Egyptian film The River of Love) 🔍 Lingua-semiotic features of polycode perfume ads on the Russian Internet 🔍 Cognitive processes behind causal prepositional-case constructions in Russian 🔍 Pictorial imagery in classical Russian literature
And we’ll be honest: even for native speakers, some of these topics sound like brain gymnastics.
Now comes the "easy" part: formatting, footnotes, final polishing — and selecting the right journal for publication!

Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Telegram, which does little policing of its content, has also became a hub for Russian propaganda and misinformation. Many pro-Kremlin channels have become popular, alongside accounts of journalists and other independent observers. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. WhatsApp, a rival messaging platform, introduced some measures to counter disinformation when Covid-19 was first sweeping the world.
