Announcing Vestnik, The Journal of Russian and Asian Studies

  Welcome! Добро пожаловать!

VESTNIK has been created by The School of Russian and Asian Studies in an effort to effectively encourage the study of Russia and those states formerly a part of the Soviet Union.  VESTNIK is a scholarly journal which publishes the best in undergraduate and graduate research on any subject of relevance to that geographic region.

This first issue features diverse papers and writings from students and professionals. Many focus on Russian art and literature. “Blood Imagery in Crime and Punishment” and “Similarities between Crime and Punishment and Brothers Karamazov” provide insights into Dostoevsky’s literary classics. “Sancta” explores a series of paintings by Russian artist Nicholas Roerich. “The Government Inspector in Text and Presentation” presents a critical history of Gogol’s play while “Strange Enforcement” examines censorship organs of Soviet stage.

In addition, we have included an article addressing the political aspects of Russian journalism: “Russian Media and Democracy” and a sampling of the insightful Ukraine-centered creative writings of Suchorita Rudra-Vasquez. 

VESTNIK is distributed free-of-charge three times per year. If you are interested in submitting material, have students you would like to encourage to submit material, or would like to participate on our editorial staff, contact us at jwilson@sras.org. All subjects related to Russia will be considered. Submissions should not be more than 25 pages, should be in 12-point TNR type with one-inch margins, and in electronic format (MS Word or Corel). Since we are dealing with diverse subjects, we will accept MLA, ALA and Chicago formats.
