[quote=Anonymous]I was A Russian major at Amherst which historically had a really great Russian program. (Bizarrely lots of connections with the dissident community in the Soviet Union drew in a lot of significant Russian scholars -‘d some significant donations of records, papers and art). I would think it’s still probably a very good department. One of my friends is a Slavicist at a major university. For years there was not great employment in Russian—it was an important field during the Cold War and had in the immediate aftermath of the SU collapse but then became less desirable as Arabic and Chinese gained importantce for both business and geopolitical reasons. I think with the changing global situation it may become more important again. I guess we’ll see. My biggest disappointment about studying Russian is that there’s just not a lot of good TV or movies to watch in Russian so it’s hard to keep it up. I find reading in Cyrillic really exhausting.
