Okay, I’ve had a few inquiries, so here goes a stab at my schedule. Keep in mind, this is Russia and in all likelihood, these times and classes will change in some form:
Monday:
9-11AM Rusky Izik
11-1PM Russia in a Transitional Economy
4-6 PM Problems and Prospects of a Post-Soviet Eurasia
Tuesday:
9-11AM Rusky Izik
11-1PM “The Master and Margarita” Lecture
Wednesday:
11-1PM Russia in a Transitional Economy
4-6PM Problems and Prospects of a Post-Soviet Eurasia
Thursday:
11-1PM Rusky Izik
5-7PM “The Master and Margarita” Field Trip
Friday:
9-11AM Rusky Izik
Ok, a few notes.
*Rusky Izik is one of my pathetic attempts at trying to use Russian in everyday conversation (means “Russian Language”).
*Yes, I have Russian on Friday at 9AM but not on Wed, that is not a typo. Yes, since you asked, it does suck.
*My Economics class is taught by, as Iris likes to put it, “the Alan Greenspan of Russia.” The problem is that because it is Russia, he has yet to actually show up to teach a class, as he is always away on business at the Kremlin. This one might mostly be done by a visiting professor from Moscow State University.
*The Eurasia class is taught by a comparable bad-ass that actually shows up to class! Dmitri Trenin is an ex-soviet soldier turned policy advisor in his role as the director of the Carnegie Center in Moscow. He could also possibly hook it up with a sweet internship. Fingers Crossed.
*Prof. Shupak, teaching “The Master and Margarita,” is the craziest teacher I’ve met at Stanford and that’s what makes his classes so much fun. He’s by-far the most entertaining guide ever to share with others the city he loves.
*With “The Master and Margarita” added I have, drum roll please, 23 units! That’s gonna look so hot on the transcript. Too bad only one of the classes counts for my major! (Econ, if you’re wondering; I know you were; don’t lie.)
