My path to becoming a professor started during college, when I spent a summer studying in Russia. In Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), I fell in love with a city, a people, and a culture. My new book on literary life under Stalin has its roots in that first exposure to a country where I was very much the \u201cother,\u201d but felt a deep connection to my new Russian friends. My curiosity about them became a quest to understand what had shaped them. Eventually, it led me into archives where I read diaries, letters, and other documents that reveal the secrets of a bygone era that still casts a long shadow over how Russians live today.<\/p>\n

\"\"In my book, The Soviet Writers\u2019 Union and Its Leaders: Identity and Authority under Stalin<\/em>, I investigate the dilemmas faced by Russian writers living under a personality cult. How did proud communist writers preserve their self-concept once their early ideals were perverted by a bloody dictator? How did non-communist writers assert their dignity in a political system that measured people\u2019s worth by their commitment to communism? I came to recognize the anguished choices of these writers as universal human strategies for coping with threats to personal autonomy. An unexpected result of this research was that I wound up developing a course on personal identity. Our responses to authority\u2014benign or malign\u2014are crucial to how we form our sense of self.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been said that \u201cthe Russian soul encompasses everything.\u201d There\u2019s nothing I enjoy more than opening that expansive, passionate world to my students and exploring it with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
