— linguistic liberalisation and literary development in Russia in the 1920s and 1990s

Landslide of the Norm :: People :: Annika B. Myhr

Annika B. Myhr (b. 1975 in Oslo) studied Russian and Comparative Literature in Oslo, Bergen, St Petersburg and Irkutsk and received her BA in 2003 (University of Bergen). She is currently a graduate student in the Department of Russian Studies at the University of Bergen. Her MA thesis focuses on the works of three St. Petersburg poets. They have been witnessing the profound changes that Russian society and language has undergone from the 1950s to the present day, especially in the 1990s. The thesis analyses how these poets respond to the social and concurrent linguistic changes. The research relates to the broader themes of linguistic “purity” and transformation — significant issues of the Russian language situation of the 1990s.
