uring this semester we discussed a lot of texts and social contexts that they were written in or issues they were dedicated to. Your task is to choose a text (or several texts) that try to deal with an event or a process from Russian history. How does this or that author approach the chosen subject? What tools does he/she use to tell the story? For example, you can talk about the Russian Revolution and the Civil War using Babel’s texts as one of the possible ways to describe this event. How do we see the Revolution in the Red Cavalry? What are the aesthetic choices Babel makes to speak about this significant event? What is he focusing on?
