I’m
a PhD student working with the Fornaldarsögur Norðurlanda (that’s Scandinavian Studies, in case you not from the field). Here you can find
stuff related to my studies - mostly English translations of articles and the
like.
Me (in a couple of
words).
I
was born and raised in Moscow, Russia (although those living
here know it’s an independent state, in fact). In 1999 I entered the Moscow State University (historical faculty),
where I got my M.A. (well, the Russian equivalent) at the Department of
Medieval Studies (in 2004). My supervisor was, and is, Mrs. Galina
Glazyrina. My graduation paper was ‘Perception of Bearers of Supernatural Abilities in Medieval
Iceland (Based on Material
of Fornaldarsögur)’. I graduated magna cum laude, so that kinda makes me a smartass, yes…
Mrs. Glazyrina herself works at the Russian Academy of Sciences, so I switched there for postgraduate
work. Currently I’m a PhD student at the State University of the Humanities at
the Russian Academy of Sciences, to give
the whole title (I also work as a political journalist, but that’s another
story). I’m expected to present my thesis paper in autumn of 2007. I still got
no name for it, but it will be about the ethics and the structure of the Fornaldarsögur. Actually, their ethics
define their structure, but that’s what I’m writing about, so proceed to the
stuff.
