Inaugural Lectures: Liquid Russian Liquid Russian: A story of amazing transformations of the Russian language, its speakers and their communities outside Russia in the post-Soviet period. Professor Lara Ryazanova-Clarke holds an Hons degree in Russian Language and Literature from the Herzen University of St Petersburg, and a PhD in Russian from the University of Strathclyde. Her PhD dealt with the expression of emotions in Russian. In her Inaugural Lecture for the University, Lara will be exploring the amazing transformations of the Russian language, its speakers and their communities outside Russia in the post-Soviet period. For centuries, Russian was the main language of one state. The collapse of the Soviet Union, which occurred simultaneously with the acceleration of globalisation, changed dramatically the status quo. Currently, almost the same number of Russian speakers live outside the Russian Federation as within it. The lecture develops the notion of ‘liquid Russian’ and explores the new phenomenon of global Russophonie and its linguistic, political and socio-cultural consequences. Attendance is free and members of the public, staff and students are all welcome. Booking is recommended via Eventbrite.
