Toska po Rodine: Comparing Preservation and Fragmentation in the Russian Diaspora’s ‘Cultural Mission’ in the Interwar Period and the Modern Day
Successive waves of Russian emigration, from the First Wave following the Revolution of 1917 to the more recent exodus triggered by the war in Ukraine, raise pressing questions about whether Russian national identity can survive displacement.

Hello!
I''m Luke, a first-year undergrad at the University of Cambridge. I'm reading History and Russian, mostly in the hope of one day becoming a spy. In all seriousness, I'm interested in Russian cultural self-perception: how its relationship with Europe has changed through history, how it navigated the ideological upheaval of the twentieth century, and how the current collapse in relations with the West can be resolved. I also like reading edgy Russian literature, ideally in the most performative setting possible.
For fun, I like to spend time outdoors with friends and family, whether that be on a 5 day wild camping hike through the deepest darkest depths of Wales, or sat around a table at my local beer garden. I'm an amateur photographer, and love a good concert / festival. I can also often be found up before the crack of dawn to go rowing (not sure why). Finally, I love to travel and experience new cultures.
I'm looking forward to enriching all of these interests, academic and personal, through the Laidlaw foundation. If you'd like to say hi, get in touch :)
