Svetlana graduated from the Perm State University in 2004 after five years of
the English Language and Literature studies. Interested in
conservative political thought, Svetlana defended a thesis under the
title Thomas Stearns Eliot as a Conservative Man of Letters to be
able to pursue a graduate degree in history. In 2005-2006 Svetlana
applied for and received Fulbright scholarship to study American
History at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Currently she is in
the second year of her Master's program, working on a thesis

My interests include, but are not limited to interdisciplinary studies in history and literature, intellectual history, studies in American ethnicity, pop culture, and history of everyday life in the United States and Russia.
