Scholarly Interests

My research interests grew on the foundation of philological studies in the field of Russian and Iranian studies. The knowledge of literature and culture of Russia and Iran, as well as the knowledge of Russian and Persian, as well as Old Church Slavonic, Ukrainian and Arabic, allowed me to go beyond the field of literary studies and use language as a tool for cultural research. With great curiosity and satisfaction deepening from year to year, I study Russian and Iranian culture – also in a comparative perspective, in systemic approaches. This process is accompanied by obtaining degrees and overcoming the next stages of professional career.
