Title A name given to the resource Mendeleev's table of the elements Description An account of the resource This is a picture of the periodic table located adjacent to a statue of Dmitri Mendeleev in St. Petersburg. Mendeleev pioneered the structure of the table, which greatly increased understanding of chemical interactions. The periodic table is an example of Russian scientific exploration breaking new ground, setting the state for future progress. The only reason Mendeleev was not inducted into the Russian Academy of Sciences is moral objections due to his rapid remarriage following his divorce. The insight of periodicity in elemental behavior accurately predicted discovery of elements later on. Numerous distinctions awarded today are named after him. The Russian Academy of Sciences awards a medal named after Mendeleev to significant work each year in chemistry, there is a subway line named after him, and a chemistry university named after him. The amount of recognition he still gets 150 years afterwards shows how much his work in science is valued by the nation.

Title A name given to the resource Dashcam Advertisement by Subaru Subject The topic of the resource https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K-zDK4wrI4 Description An account of the resource This video, titled “Who let her behind the wheel?” is of note because it marks a synthesis of Russian jokes, by both insider and outsider perspectives. It’s a viral video that has gotten 12 million views on Youtube, starring a young woman who hits a dog while driving, exits to examine the dog, and then, while she’s not paying attention, the dog hops into the drivers’ seat and begins driving. In doing so, the video combines the humor of a Russian reversal with that of a dashcam video. What complicates the story is that unlike most dashcam videos, its low-tech aesthetics are a sham – what begins looking like a homemade video by the end is revealed to be an ad by Subaru, a Japanese car company. Thus an outsider is selling cars to Russia by using a meme that is used to sell Russia to the outside world. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Фролова, Екатерина.

Title A name given to the resource Kunstkamera Description An account of the resource This is the first home of the Russian Academy of Sciences, built in the 1710s. Peter the Great had it constructed in conjunction with his establishment of the Academy. What is most notable about this facility is how nice it is—clearly Peter places a great deal of importance on this organization, and therefore it must have modern and beautiful facilities. Beyond just the exterior beauty, it was built specifically for scientific work as a museum and for the Academy. This dedication to providing for scientific research, especially for the initial founding of an organization with nothing to show for itself at the time, demonstrates how far ahead Peter was looking into the future. The foundation he established here with the Academy would yield great dividends for Russia and the Soviet Union in times to come.

Title A name given to the resource Putin on a bear -- a Russian Meme Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource http://i.imgur.com/cgUR9F1.jpg (anonymous creator) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource May 5 2014 Description An account of the resource This is one of your author’s favorite Russia memes, because of the amount of meaning embedded into the image. The text implies that while Americans fight over their gun rights (“right to bear arms”), Russians are living in a parallel universe where gun rights are the least exciting part. They live in Meme Russia, where based on dashcam videos, every ride in a car is like in a video game, where the president goes hunting while shirtless and finds treasure while scuba-diving, and where giant meteors hit random towns. In short, Russians have the right to “whole bear.” This statement also really gets to the heart of the Internet’s relation with Russia – while memes certainly make fun of Russia, one can’t but notice that the nerdy young males propagating these memes are at least a little envious of a land where adventure is not just confined to video games. This meme also hits on other parts of Meme Russia, prominently displaying “Badass Putin” and through its textual humor also alluding to the Russian reversal, thus displaying the recontextualization of Soviet Russia from “advanced, feared adversary status” into a land of humorous barbarism. https://s3.amazonaws.com/atg-prod-oaas-files/russiaglobal/original/fec5348b816879f8d309eadbb4eaa934.jpg 9f514cec473a247fc5a73b9e933e453e Still Image A static visual representation.

As a composer, Tchaikovsky wrote some of the greatest masterpieces of all time which are still popular today including "The Nutcracker", "Swan Lake", and "Sleeping Beauty".

Title A name given to the resource Societies and the World 52: The Phoenix & the Firebird: Russia in Global Perspective Syllabus Description An account of the resource Offered this year for the first time, Societies and the World 52: The Phoenix & The Firebird is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding Russia and its place in the contemporary global climate. Taught by a member of the Slavic Languages and Literature Department and a member of the History Department, the course bridges the gap in understanding Russianness and Russian studies expressed by both Posin and Engerman. It is not enough to understand Russia as simply a site of rich literature and culture, or as a site of historical and political importance, but rather, both. The inclusion of this course in the General Education program indicates that on some level Harvard believes that it is not only content that matters when addressing studies of Russia, but also, methodology.

Title A name given to the resource Lawrence "Larry" Summers Description An account of the resource After Harvard Economics Professor Shleifer reached a settlement with the US. Government because of his illegal stock-buying activities in post-Soviet Russia, President Summers was accused of extreme favoritism towards his well-known friend. In January of 2006, an article in the "Institutional Investor" suggested that Summers forewarned and shielded Shleifer and his wife to protect them from disciplinary action from the University. Harvard picked up the tab for Shleifer, and the University agreed to pay $26.5 million to the US Government to settle the lawsuit. Shleifer was allowed to return to his faculty position, inciting outrage among faculty and students of Harvard. On February 21, 2006, Summers announced his intention to step down as President of the University in response to the outrage. This situation reflects the complexity of the interplay between Economics, University, and Russia in the world.
