Russian Studies
Have you ever wondered why so many of the villains in Hollywood movies are Russian? Or why so many people read Tolstoy and Dostoevsky? Or what the word vodka really means?
Do you want to study in a close-knit community of students and professors that allows for guided, free-ranging interdisciplinary research projects, long-lasting friendships and mentorships, and which hosts a diskoteka and a film series every semester?
If the answer to any of the above is yes, then look no further! The Russian Section at William & Mary offers just such a community of learning in which all of your questions about Russia and Russian will be addressed through the many Russian courses offered by faculty who are committed to excellence in teaching and to promoting undergraduate research.
