Overview:
A Project for Digital Methods in Humanistic research. We are using a Soviet-era textbook for grade-school children as both a primary and secondary source of analysis. In doing so, we hope to familiarize others with the nuance of Russian history.
Research Question:
How do we format and annotate textbooks on Soviet History to make them accessible to those unfamiliar with Russian culture and language? Which time periods in Russian history are more heavily propogandized, as noted by the frequency and type of propogandized terms in a Soviet-era textbook?
Project Members:
Arina Isayev, Olga Tseytlin, Scott Whalen, Lauren Hinrichsen.
