Produced under the auspices of the Slavic Department at
Columbia University,
ULBANDUS, The Slavic Review of Columbia University is a peer-reviewed journal
devoted to refreshing, adventurous, and provocative work on topics in

graduate students and independent scholars in any field, even superficially
unrelated ones. Though faculty members sit on the advisory board, the
