SUMMARY:The New Barbarism-Putin\, Trump\, and a Lost World. A talk with Victor Erofeev
DESCRIPTION:НОВОЕ ВАРВАРСТВО\n\nMonday\, October 13\, 2025\n12:00-1:30pm PST\nKaplan Hall Room #348 (third floor)\n\nRegister to attend\n\n\n  \nAbout the Talk\nA provocative exploration of a 21st-century “new barbarism\,” where power eclipses justice. The lecture connects Russia\, Ukraine\, Europe\, and the U.S.\, arguing that leaders like Putin and Trump reflect deeper cultural shifts – and asks what comes next. \nThe talk will be conducted in Russian and followed by a Q&A session. This event is in-person only.  \n\n\n  \nAbout the Speaker\nVictor Erofeev is a prominent Russian writer. He became known worldwide for his novel Russian Beauty\, published in 1989 and translated into 27 languages. In 1979\, he was expelled from the Soviet Writers’ Union for his participation in the literary tamizdat almanach Metropol\, which included texts that were banned by Soviet censors. Erofeiev’s writing\, particularly his novel Encyclopedia of the Russian Soul (1999)\, has been controversial among Russian nationalists. Erofeev’s contributions to literature have earned him numerous accolades\, including the Legion d’Honneur and the Ordre d’Art et Letters in France and the Kommandor Cross in Poland. Besides writing\, Erofeiev has taught and lectured around the world in English\, French\, Russian\, and Polish. He contributes regularly to German newspapers\, including FAZ\, Die Zeit\, and Die Welt. In March 2022\, Erofeiev left Russia and is now a professor of literature at Luneburg University in Germany. In April 2023\, he published a collection of essays titled Naked Russia\, dedicated to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. In his most recent work\, The Great Gopnik (published in 2023 by Matthes & Seitz)\, he relates his biography to that of Vladimir Putin. In September 2025\, he released The New Barbarism\, a provocative novel-fantasy on Russian guilt that takes readers on a metaphorical journey through a surreal\, living Moscow where the boundaries between war and peace dissolve. \n  \n\nParking for Campus Visitors: \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe closest parking structures to Kaplan Hall are Structure 2\, Structure 3 North\, Structure 4 and Structure 5. Parking rates vary by structure\, so please refer to the rates here. Guest parking is available on a first come\, first served basis. Please plan to arrive early if you are not familiar with the campus or parking structures.  \nVISITOR PARKING AREAS: \n♦ Structure 2: Structure 2 has pay stations for visitors on the first and second floors.

SUMMARY:Film Screening of Maria\, Heart of Romania
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 30\, 2025\n6:00 – 8:30pm PST\nRoyce Hall Room #314 (third floor)\n  \nThe UCLA Department of Slavic\, East European & Eurasian Languages & Cultures\, in co-sponsorship with the Consulate General of Romania in Los Angeles\, and with permission from the Romanian Cultural Institute\, is pleased to present a screening of Maria\, Heart of Romania on Thursday\, October 30th\, 2025 in Royce Hall Room #314. The film will be introduced by UCLA Romanian lecturer Anca Cuptor\, the Consul General of Romania\, and Chapman University History professor Dr. Stefan Ionescu. \nThe documentary presents to the public the extraordinary story of the political role and the interesting private life of Queen Marie of Romania. Granddaughter of Queen Victoria\, she married the Crown prince of Romania in 1893. We will see how she ruled the country during the horrors of the First World War\, until the victory at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The film doesn’t avoid the less glamorous aspects of The Queen’s life. Her son\, Carol\, despised his parents and when he became King\, he banished Marie from the court.

SUMMARY:Rallying around the Flag: Scopes and Limits of Civic Mobilization in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mykola Riabchuk on Ukraine’s resilience in the first months of Russian aggression\, in conversation with Daniel Treisman\, UCLA Political Science.\n\nTuesday\, November 4\, 2025\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM PST\nBunche Hall Room #10383 \n  \nREGISTER TO ATTEND HERE \n  \nAbout the Talk\nUkraine’s resilience in the first months of Russian aggression came as a great surprise to both its Moscow adversaries and Western partners. Ukrainian postcommunist state—broadly described dysfunctional—appeared to be quite viable\, and Ukrainian society—broadly stereotyped as divided or even split along many lines—appeared to be quite unanimous and unified. Civic mobilization\, a.k.a. rallying around the flag\, is a widespread phenomenon that many communities demonstrate in critical situations\, against existential threats\, external aggression in particular. From the first days of the war\, Ukrainians rallied around the national flag\, proving strong patriotic commitment to national cause and firm self-identification with their country\, its symbols and institutions. They emphasized their pro-Western orientation and commitment to “European”\, liberal-democratic values as arguably opposite to those of authoritarian Russia. This created a unique opportunity for the government to harness the energy of civic mobilization not only for the military resistance but also for the long-due domestic reforms – not only “against” somebody (the Russian enemy) but also “for” something (institutional cleaning-up and modernization). Four years into the war\, it seems that the ruling elite has largely failed on the second issue\, badly affecting thus and undermining the first one\, which is definitely the nation’s priority of existential importance. What was wrong and what can be done to fix the problem – is the question that goes far beyond the pure academic curiosity. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nMykola Riabchuk is a Principal Research Fellow at the Institute of Political and Ethnic Studies in Kyiv and a visiting lecturer at the University Warsaw. He penned dozen books translated into Polish\, French\, German\, Serbian and Hungarian\, and was distinguished with several awards\, most notably the Antonovych Prize (2003)\, the “Bene merito” medal of the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs (2009)\, Jerzy Giedroyc Prize (2023)\, the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (2025)\, and the Taras Shevchenko National Prize in Arts and Literature (2022). In 2014-2018\, he headed the Ukrainian PEN Center and\, in 2014-2023\, chaired the jury of the “Angelus” international literary award. His latest books (in English) are Eastern Europe since 1989: Between the Loosened Authoritarianism and Unconsolidated Democracy (Warsaw\, 2020)\, and At the Fence of Metternich’s Garden. Essays on Europe\, Ukraine\, and Europeanization (Stuttgart\, 2021). \n  \nAbout the Discussant\nDaniel Treisman is a distinguished professor of political science at the University of California\, Los Angeles\, research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research and current co-director of the UCLA Center for European and Russian Studies. He has published four books and many articles in leading political science and economics journals including The American Political Science Review and The American Economic Review\, as well as in the public affairs journals Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy. A former interim lead editor of The American Political Science Review\, he has also served as a consultant for the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development\, and as acting director of UCLA’s Center for European and Eurasian Studies. In Russia\, he is a member of the International Advisory Committee of the Higher School of Economics and a member of the Jury of the National Prize in Applied Economics. He has been a Guggenheim Fellow and a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution (Stanford) and the Institute for Human Sciences (Vienna)\, and has received fellowships from the German Marshall Fund of the US and the Smith Richardson Foundation. His latest book\, The Return: Russia’s Journey from Gorbachev to Medvedev (The Free Press\, 2011) was one of the Financial Times’ Best Political Books of 2011. \n  \nSponsor(s): Center for European and Russian Studies\, Department of Slavic\, East European & Eurasian Languages & Cultures \n\n  \nVenue & Parking\nBunche Hall Room #10383\n11282 Portola Plaza\nLos Angeles\, CA 90095 \nThe nearest parking structure to this event is UCLA Parking Structure 5.

SUMMARY:New Israeli Horror: Local Cinema\, Global Genre
DESCRIPTION:Olga Gershenson (University of Massachusetts\, Amherst)\nNew Israeli Horror: Local Cinema\, Global Genre\nLeve Book Talk series \nModerated by Lilya Kaganovsky (UCLA)\n  \nBefore 2010\, there were no Israeli horror films. The next decade saw a blossoming of the genre by young Israeli filmmakers. New Israeli Horror is the first book to tell their story and analyze their films\, from inception to reception. What triggered this sudden development? Why did Israeli filmmakers turn to horror? How do their films portray Israel? What kind of horror scenarios do they depict and how? This presentation will grapple with these questions\, which are particularly poignant now\, in light of the attack on October 7 and the ensuing wars\, which pitted the real-life horrors against the fictional ones. \n  \nOlga Gershenson is Professor of Judaic and Near Eastern Studies and of Film Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. A multi-disciplinary scholar\, her interests lie at the intersection of culture\, history\, and film. She is the author of New Israeli Horror: Local Cinema\, Global Genre (2024)\, The Phantom Holocaust: Soviet Cinema and Jewish Catastrophe (2013)\, Gesher: Russian Theater in Israel (2005)\, as well as editor of Ladies and Gents: Public Toilets and Gender (2009). She is currently working on a volume titled The Oxford Handbook of Judaism and Film. \n  \nBook trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArsCRkm1OOU \nBook website: https://blogs.umass.edu/newisraelihorror/ \n  \nFor more information\, please visit the event website here.

SUMMARY:Collective (Sobornal) Creation in Early 20th-Century Russian Modernism | A Talk with Dmitry Biriukov
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 15\, 2026 \n2:00 pm \nKaplan Hall Room #305 (third floor) \nIn person \n  \nAdvance Registration required by Monday\, April 13\, 2026. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND HERE \n  \nAbout the Talk\nThe concept of sobornost\, as it emerged in theological language in nineteenth-century Russia\, developed within two basic contexts. One context was associated with an anti-hierarchical and egalitarian intention\, emphasizing the equality of all members of the Church in relation to the knowledge of truth\, regardless of their formal position within the ecclesiastical hierarchy. The other context was connected with a collectivist intention\, in which the collective (originally the Church) was understood as a kind of collective subject. Almost immediately after the concept of sobornost was formulated within the Slavophile circle\, in the works of Aleksei Khomiakov and Yuri Samarin\, it began to be applied not only to the Church but also to the Slavic people\, thereby acquiring nativist connotations. By the beginning of the twentieth century\, the concept of sobornost\, largely through the influence of Vyacheslav Ivanov\, expanded from the religious sphere into the domain of art\, giving rise to the notion of sobornal creation (sobornoe tvorchestvo). In my analysis\, I will consider both authors in whose works the concept of sobornal creation appears in one form or another (such as Vyacheslav Ivanov\, Velimir Khlebnikov\, Boris Eikhenbaum etc.) and those who polemicized against this concept. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDmitry Biriukov is a visiting scholar at the University of California\, Los Angeles. He previously served as a research fellow at HSE University (2016–2022) and at Freie Universität Berlin (2023–2025). As a scholar of both Byzantine and Russian thought\, he has held visiting research fellowships at the University of Notre Dame\, Durham University\, the Collège de France\, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen\, Radboud University\, Ruhr University Bochum\, among others. His research interests are divided between Byzantine studies\, focusing on theology\, philosophy\, and science\, and Russian intellectual history\, encompassing philosophy\, religion\, literature\, and politics. \n

SUMMARY:Futurism and the Tango Craze on the Eve of World War I | The 2026 Michael Henry Heim Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:A Talk with Eugene Ostashevsky\n  \nFriday\, May 1\, 2026\n4:00 – 6:00 pm\nKaplan Hall Room #348 (third floor)\nIn person \n  \nAdvance Registration \nAdvance registration is required by Monday\, April 27. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND HERE \n  \n  \nThe Michael Henry Heim Memorial Lecture \nThis year’s talk is co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic\, Eastern European and Eurasian Languages and Cultures\, and the Department of Comparative Literature. \n  \n  \nAbout the Talk \nThe years right before the outbreak of World War I were those of explosive cultural and technological change. Inventions such as the airplane\, the automobile\, the ocean liner\, the telephone\, wireless telegraphy\, and the movies made visible the deep transformation of life in Europe and the Americas at the end of the Second Industrial Revolution. Artists and poets of the 1910s argued that classical Western mimetic arts could no longer convey the experience of modernity. Rather\, new forms of life called for the emergence of new forms of art. The multinational Futurists of the Russian Empire began to paint their faces and bodies instead of canvas. The poet and professional aviator Vasily Kamensky published “simultaneous” poems whose reading order depended on the reader and which resembled Cubist paintings in words. Called Tango with Cows\, Kamensky’s poetry collection reflected on the largest global pop-culture craze of 1913. The tango migrated from Argentina through Paris to become the quintessential dance of the modern metropolis: angular\, sexual\, strange\, non-Western\, and defiantly anti-traditional. Its conquest of social life from Los Angeles to Shanghai was accompanied by a revolution in consumerism and gender relations\, signaled by tango-themed fashions and accessories. The Ukrainian “Querofuturist” Mykhail Semenko saw the tango as the right dance for a new Ukraine\, while an amateur Armenian poet in the Caucasus complained that tango fashions destroyed family budgets and promoted divorce. But then World War I started and it turned out that a wholly different modernity was in the offing. \n  \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nEugene Ostashevsky is a poet and translator whose writing is described as “translingual” because of its focus on linguistic multiplicity and interference. His latest book of poetry\, The Feeling Sonnets (NYRB Poets / Carcanet\, 2022)\, examines the effects of speaking a non-native language on emotions\, parenting\, and identity. An earlier book\, The Pirate Who Does Not Know the Value of Pi (NYRB Poets\, 2017)\, discusses communication difficulties between pirates and parrots. He is the non-author of Alphabet Soup: The Translingual Sayings of Emma and Eva (Tamizdat / Rab-Rab Press\, 2026)\, a forthcoming collection of verbal play by his daughters. \n  \nParking for Campus Visitors \nThe closest parking structures to Kaplan Hall are Structure 2\, Structure 3 North\, Structure 4 and Structure 5. Parking rates vary by structure\, so please refer to the rates here. Guest parking is available on a first come\, first served basis. Please plan on arriving early to the event if you are not familiar with the campus or parkingstructures. \nThe UCLA Slavic department is not responsible for any tickets or citations received by event attendees.
