Description
Denis Kozlov is an associate professor of Russian history at Dalhousie University. His research focuses on the cultural, intellectual, and social history of the Soviet Union, especially during the post-Stalin decades. On the basis of archival evidence, primarily thousands of letters from readers to literary periodicals, his recent book, The Readers of Novyi Mir: Coming to Terms with the Stalinist Past (Harvard University Press, 2013) explored how the Soviet reading audiences of the 1950s and 1960s comprehended their life experiences in the framework of twentieth-century history. This work revealed mechanisms of intellectual change important for the evolution of Soviet society and culture. His current research examines the cultural history of emigration from the Soviet Union to the West.
