Natasha Rulyova

Dr Natasha Rulyova is a scholar of contemporary Russophone literature, translation, post-Soviet media culture, and genre studies. She is currently completing a monograph, Diversifying Contemporary Russophone Literatures (under contract with Routledge), based on her project Contemporary Russophone Literature: Diversity and Decoloniality. The project examines the work of minoritised Russophone authors and explores questions of diversity, identity, and decoloniality in contemporary literature. In collaboration with Pushkin House, London, she has conducted and hosted public conversations with prominent Russophone writers, including Guzel Yakhina, Alisa Ganieva, and Hamid Ismailov.

Her publications include Joseph Brodsky and Collaborative Self-Translation (Bloomsbury, 2020), which examines bilingualism and self-translation in the work of the Nobel Prize-winning poet Joseph Brodsky. She is also co-author (with Stephen Hutchings) of Television and Culture in Putin's Russia: Remote Control (Routledge, 2009), and has published extensively on Russian and post-Soviet media, cultural identities, and digital communication. In the field of genre studies, she co-edited Genre Trajectories: Identifying, Mapping, Projecting (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) and has published research on genre, identity, and new media. Her current work focuses on diversity in contemporary Russophone culture and literature, multilingualism, and the legacies of Soviet nationality policies in the post-Soviet space.
