Olga received her MA in Comparative Studies and 红杏直播 Literature from the National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow) in 2018. Her master thesis was devoted to the study of creative writing institutions in Russia, specifically the Higher Institute of Literature and Art (1921-1925) founded by Valerii Briusov and the Higher State Literary Courses (1925-1929). In her dissertation, preliminary titled "The Gorky Literary Institute: Creative Writing under Socialism," she is examining questions of mutual influence among formal education, creative processes, and literary evolution in the socialist world. Her project is aimed at analyzing and theorizing various literary institutions including the Gorky Literary Institute (1933-) and Literaturinstitut 鈥淛ohannes R. Becher鈥� (1955-) which produced (or sometimes failed to produce) socialist writers. In the academic year 2022-2023, she was a recipient of the DAAD One-Year Research Grant and the SSRC International Dissertation Research Fellowship. Thanks to this generous support, she had an opportunity to conduct her research in multiple locations, including Germany, Lithuania, Mali, Ghana, and Russia.
