"Russian Literature"to Be a Channel for Europe-US-Russia Dialogue?Understanding the Western Slavic Studies
The UK took the lead in the Slavonic studies due to geopolitical needs,and continental Europe and the USA also developed different Slavic studies originated in their different geopolitical rela-tions with imperial Russia.The Soviet system established by the October Revolution which threatened Eu-rope and USA,prompted more universities on both sides of the Atlantic to establish Slavic studies disci-pline which began to converge.Along with the process of the Cold War,Slavic studies made great pro-gress in the squeeze of"Sovietology",paid close attention to the overseas Russian literature and under-ground literature which the Soviet party and government created and tried to conceal,and seriously faced the official Soviet literature and the theoretical system of socialist realism.Therefore western Slavic stud-ies made more remarkable achievements in the compilation of literary history than the local Soviet acade-mia.The discipline even constructed the concept of the "Silver Age"and explored Russian popular litera-ture and Russian female literature.These achievements gave feedback to Soviet-Russia and started the wave of returning literature in Soviet-Russia.The western Slavonic studies successfully transformed and even participated in the process of literature in the Russian Federation during the period of post-soviet.It is of great practical value that we explored how Western Slavonic studies found the important issues of Russian literature from European-American geopolitics,and discussed the phenomena and texts related to these issues within the framework of humanities.
