History of the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature at Samarkand State University Established in 1933, the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature at Samarkand State University has a rich history. Initially, the department was led by early literary scholars – Associate Professors P.P. Belov, P.V. Vilkoshevsky, and L.N. Chernets, who laid the foundation for the field of literary studies. During World War II, prominent new scholars joined the department, including Professor B.V. Mikhailovsky and literary critic S.A. Malakhov, driving further development. In 1944, the department was reorganized under the leadership of Professor R.K. Voysek, joining scholars such as L.N. Chernets, S.A. Malakhov, and L.A. Dombran. Renowned literary critic Ya.O. Zundelovich, who joined in 1947, took over leadership in 1954. Under his leadership, the department became a center of science and the cornerstone of literary research in Samarkand. Under Professors Voysek and Zundelovich, the department defined its scientific direction, which was continued by their students V.G. Lartsev, S.Ye. Shatalov, R.P. Shaginyan, Ye.P. Magazannik, E.B. Magazannik, and I.V. Tonisheva. In 1964, two new departments were formed: the Department of Russian and Soviet Literature (headed by Ya.O. Zundelovich, later Associate Professor V.G. Lartsev) and the Department of Literary Theory and Foreign Literature (headed by Associate Professor R.P. Shaginyan). Over the years, department scholars conducted research on romanticism theory, genre development in Russian and Soviet literature, literary translation, and intercultural literary relations. Scientific work by G.F. Menshikov, V.N. Blagonravov, A.B. Gevorkyan, and many others enriched department research. In the 1990s, the department merged with other university divisions and operates today as the Department of Russian and Foreign Literature. Currently, Professor Shakhnoza Ishniyazova, DSc Mavlon Bobokhonov, Associate Professors Albina Abdullayeva, Mastura Egamova, Diana Kadimova, as well as senior lecturers and young researchers work here. Over 20 master's students, one doctoral candidate, and five independent researchers conduct research here. Foreign scholars, including Professor Yu.V. Domanskiy (RSUH, Russia) and Honorary Professor A.S. Shcherbak (Tambov State University), contribute to the teaching process. |
