Approximately 150 million individuals worldwide speak Russian, a language that holds significant importance within global cultural and political spheres. Throughout history, the Russophone world has exerted a profound international influence on literature, alongside English-speaking cultures.

Furthermore, this program equips students with the necessary skills for critically analyzing poetry, drama, and prose, while also delving into the cultural contexts of English writing from the late Middle Ages to the present.
