21. Kusochek 2.0 - Serian Carlyle on cinema

45 minutes

Listen in to Serian’s Russian journey, starting with her teaching post in Chelyabinsk leading her to dedicate years of study to the field of Russian cinema, particularly Soviet-era youth cinema and the crossover of the themes of bodies, gender, health, and nationalism on screen. What a way to start the new series!
