PhD in Comparative literature
Riva Evstifeeva
- I work on Russian and comparative literature, focusing on the reception of literary texts in modern and contemporary Europe and Russia. The study of linguistic development (grammatical and lexical) is a significant part of my work. Recently, I have been working extensively on the Turgenev library in Paris - its history, collections and archives.
