In light of the recent ban on the “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relations” in Russia, my thesis explores the queer activist movements in the city of St-Petersburg. In the wake of the ban, emerging and new modes of activism in St-Petersburg have developed and the individuals participating in these campaigns present different ways of being active/activists in means both public and private, street and academic, local and global. Firstly, after a brief historical overview of queer desires and identities in Russia, this thesis examines two prominent spheres of activism, academic and street-based, and their shifting practices in light of the ban. Secondly, I examine the effects of the ban on queer subject and identity making through a discussion of the various discourses (nationalist, moral, medical, global) that are present in their everyday lives. This focus demonstrates that despite the official bodies (state and church) attempting to delegitimize queer desires and subjects, queer activists are able to carve out spaces for themselves and continue in their attempts to fashion a queer world of their own.

Nåtidens protesterende russiske kunstnere vil vekke folket til kampen for valgfrihet. Smerte og kroppen er deres nye uttrykk.
Interessen for russisk politisk samtidskunst — Pussy Riots musikk eller Pavlenskijs performanceuttrykk — har økt i Norge siden de omfattende gateprotestene i Russland og utlandet, etter jukset ved valget til det russiske parlamentet for tre år siden. Bergen og Oslo var blant byene hvor russiske innvandrere protesterte. Disse protestene ble styrt fra byen mellom de syv fjell, og i ettertid bearbeidet på en kunstnerisk måte.

Abstract:
This paper examines the reconfiguration of social relations across Europe during the first half of the nineteenth century, through the correspondence of Alexander and Roxandra Sturdza, which is kept for the most part at the Manuscript Section of the Institute of Russian Literature (the Pushkin House) in Saint Petersburg and at the Regional Archives of Odessa. Spanning half a century (1805-1854) and involving over 200 correspondents, these letters reveal a triangular network of exchanges that embraced Russia, Western and South-Eastern Europe. From the diplomatic subjects of the Congress of Vienna to the pleas for help when the Greeks revolted against the Sultan (1821-1823), to the later exchanges of Alexander Sturdza with Western and Russian scholars on religious matters, this correspondence is a testament of a “continent without borders”, which was to largely disappear in the political upheaval of the Crimean War.
Keywords: Epistolary network, European margins, Russia, South-Eastern Europe, circulation, 19th Century.

Russia is a nation with a long and tumultuous history. It has been constantly reshaped by the often-violent intersection of competing factions. From the clashes of Nordic and Asiatic nomads in the early medieval period, through the struggle between czarists and revolutionaries in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and up to the current competition for power in the post-Soviet period, this volume examines Russia as a nation defined by ethnic, political and cultural rivalries.

This article examines works by Grigorovich, Dal’, Grebenka, Nekrasov, and Dostoevskii from the period 1845-1849, looking at the way these early realists represented St. Petersburg. Broadly, they sought to depict life with verisimilitude and experimented with new methods to achieve this aim, adapting earlier literary models such as the physiological sketch and the gothic. Despite differing artistic styles, these writers used the gothic in surprisingly similar ways. The article argues that realism accommodated the gothic as a tool to underscore social concerns surrounding urban poverty as well as build up narrative force in otherwise descriptive passages.
