Russian

Most Americans know the great Russian novels only in English. However, Russian majors learn to read such masterpieces as Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace and Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment in their original language. Doing so, they peer into a country with a complex history that has only recently opened to Westerners. Now that the Iron Curtain has fallen, foreign students have opportunities like never before to visit, study, and live in the former Soviet Union.
