A guest lecture by Lynn Patyk, Professor of East European, Eurasian, and Rus sian Studies at Dartmouth College, and Associate Editor for The Russian Review. Dr. Patyk researches the intersection of politics, the arts, and media in Russia from the nineteenth century to present. Her work examines the struggle of democratic movements against autocracy, as well as tactics of state and police repression, with a focus on extreme modes of political communication employed in this context and their symbiosis with media forms. She is the author of Written in Blood: Revolutionary Terrorism and Russian Literary Culture, 1861-1881 (2017) and Dostoevsky's Provocateurs (2023), as well as co-editor, with Irina Erman , of the volume Funny Dostoevsky (2024), which places comedy and humor at the center of Dostoevsky's artistic and spiritual vision.
