Russian Stereotypes

Natalia Sagoydak, Associate Professor of the Linguistics Department
10 Stereotypes About Russia: To what extent do they reflect the reality? How truthful are they?

National cuisine

Evgeniya Tkachenko, Assistant Professor of the Linguistics Department
The well-known Russian proverb says: Porridge and soup are food of ours. However, the variety of the Russian cuisine impresses. The main factors that influenced its development were the adoption of Christianity in the tenth century, peculiarities of weather conditions and – multinationality of Russia. What did our great-grandparents eat? What dishes will you see on the New Year feast? What is a must-try when you are in Russia? And is it really indigenous? That is the question!

National cinematography

The history of the Russian cinematography is a peculiar one. It is some kind of a mirror that reflects aspects of this or that epoch. Harsh disposition and peculiarities of certain political systems had an effect on the Russian cinematography. It did not prevent the appearance of bright personalities among actors and directors, though. Are there any Russian Oscar-winning film? What kind of films get awards in Cannes? Which films and why are favorites in most Russian families?

The lecture is devoted to some aspects of the slang words study, different types and diversity of argot, professional and some other types of slang, their direct and figurative meaning, etymology, functions, origin and sources of enlargement.

Russian Traditions and Superstitions

Svetlana Volkova, Associate Professor of the Linguistics Department
The best way to see and get to know the traditions of this or that nation is to stay/live with a family for some time. One could easily notice in this case that Russian people are extremely hospitable. It is our national feature. We have an expression: «Встречать хлебом и солью». It means to show your hospitality and cordiality because from the ancient times bread and salt were valued greatly. In this lecture we will dwell upon Russian traditions and superstitions. Sometimes traditions and superstitions are interconnected. Russian people are emotional and superstitious by nature. There are a lot of different traditions and superstitions in Russia. That’s why we decided to divide all the traditions and superstitions we are going to speak about into 5 groups: “You are welcome but...” (the ways of greeting, some manners and behaviour), travelling, wedding, babies and gifts.

Russian proverbs and sayings

Svetlana Volkova, Associate Professor of the Linguistics Department
There is no doubt that such two notions as language and culture are interconnected. A person who is learning a foreign language is supposed to become acquainted with the culture of the nation the language of which he/she is learning. This lecture is devoted to such idiomatic units as Russian proverbs and sayings which form a cultural layer of the language.
