Russian Through Propaganda, Book 2

Beschreibung

This second volume in the Russian Through Propaganda series provides a second semester's worth of intensive college-level Russian language learning. It presents all plural forms of noun and adjective case endings, introduces basic verbs of conveyance and basic prefixed forms, deals extensively with numbers and time expressions, and introduces comparative forms. It concludes with two special chapters dedicated to practical everyday conversation (for those heading to Russia), and an introduction to unadapted Russian poetry and prose from the Soviet era. Like Book 1, it is richly illustrated with Soviet propaganda posters whose slogans highlight each lesson's grammar. It is supplemented with a learner's Russian-English dictionary, an answer key, and useful grammar tables for reference. This new series of Russian language textbooks will continue with Books 3 and 4, entitled "Russian Through Poems and Paintings."

Autor

I hold a PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures from Princeton University, and a BA from Vanderbilt University, where I majored in German and History, with a minor in Russian. After college I spent a year in Russia on a Fulbright scholarship. Later on, I worked for two years in Russia as translator at KPMG, first in their Moscow office (in a skyscraper overlooking the city!), and then in the St. Petersburg office. Today I am a lecturer in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Princeton, where I've taught a number of different courses: first- and second-year Russian, Polish, and Czech; an introduction to (Old) Church Slavonic and the development of Slavic; a seminar on late Soviet rock music; and East European Literature and Politics. I also work as a freelance translator, mostly from Russian, French, and German. Having finished four volumes of my Russian language series, I'm currently working on a few other Russian books: some dual-language Russian readers (starting with Chekhov), a book on Russian verbs, and a beginner's guide to cursing in Russian. In the meantime, I'm also working on a Czech textbook. When not prevented by epidemics, I spend as much time as I can in Russia; at last count I've spent around 6 years there altogether.
