Language of Power: Decoding Russian Propaganda - From "Metaphors We Die For" to
War-Zone Slang
Why do terms like "агитainment", "мирняк", and the casualty codes "200/300/500" spread so rapidly? And how can a single narrative — Russia as a besieged fortress — echo from Tsarist sermons to today's Telegram memes?

This dynamic 90-minute lecture takes intermediate and advanced students through the rhetorical arsenal uncovered in my latest field research, revealing how language shapes perception and drives action in the Russian information space.

Myths & Milestones: (Re)Making Russian Identity from Kievan Rus' to Putin's Headlines
From Prince Vladimir's epic baptism to today's "special military operation" rhetoric, every era of Russian history has crafted its own narrative of national identity.

This 90-minute, debate-driven lecture equips intermediate or advanced students with the critical tools to separate heritage from hype, demystifying the narratives that continue to shape politics, culture, and collective memory.

Russian Street Talk, Unfiltered: From «щас» to «днюха»
Ever wondered how native speakers transform «сейчас» into a quick "щас"; drop verbs entirely in exchanges like «Ты куда? — Я домой», or playfully convert "кредитная карта" into "кредитка"?

This dynamic 90-minute lecture gives advanced undergraduate students an essential field guide to the living, breathing grammar, phonetics, and wordplay of contemporary spoken Russian.
