Russophonia recently started to get more attention from Slavic
studies scholars. It occurs in Russia, the post-Soviet space and
beyond, in various Russian speaking communities. As it concerns not
just literature written in Russian by self-professed non-Russians,
but all kinds of cultural products (music, broadcasts, etc.), we
can call it Russophone culture. The phenomenon gives artists the
possibility to express themselves in a language that is still
widely understood in the post-Soviet space and sell their cultural
products to a broader audience. At the same time, it gives certain
leaders in the post-Soviet area the possibility of visibility and
influence beyond the borders of their own country. In the 4th
Episode of our podcast “Roundtable Eastern Europe” Dr. Nina Frieß
(ZOiS), Dr. Naomi Caffee (Reed College) and Dr. Konstantin
Kaminskij (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) discuss different
aspects of Russophone cultures and its influence on the post-Soviet
space. (Music: “Complete” by Modul is licensed under a CC BY-NC-ND
