The lecture is devoted to the question of the role of the Russian diaspora in the history of Russian culture, as well as to the critical response to Pasternak’s “revolutionary” poems, which signify the new phase in his creative work.
Prof. Anna Sergeeva-Klyatis, PhD., has been a professor at the Faculty of Journalism since 2010 and served as a Department Head since 2020. She hold a B.A. (1992) and M.A. (2001) from Lenin Moscow State Pedagogical University, and a Ph.D. from Lomonosov Moscow State University (2014), and completed her postgraduate work in the Institute of the World Literature by Gorky (1992-1994). Her first monograph, Russian Empire Style and the Works of Konstantin Batyushkov (2000-2001), based on her Master’s thesis, considers Batyushkov's poetry as one of the manifestations of the Russian Empire style. Since 2001 her research is focused on early 20th-century Russian literature, especially the poetry of Boris Pasternak. In collaboration with Elena and Evgeny Pasternak she compiled and edited the Complete Works of Pasternak in 11 volumes (Moscow, 2003-2005) and the two-volume anthology Pro et contra: Boris Pasternak (St.-Petersburg, 2012-2013). Based on her doctoral dissertation, her monograph Pasternak’s Poetry of 1920s in Soviet Journalism and Russian Literary Criticism Abroad (Moscow State University Press, 2013) is a fundamental work dealing with the interaction of the poet and his work with literary criticism.
