Erasmus students, as well as those which cannot attend the courses and/or are not fluent in Italian, are kindly requested to contact the teacher for more information and a programme of personal readings. Anyway, after the course students should know the main lines of development in the history of Russian literature. They should be also able to set out clearly the contents of the course and to apply their knowledge approaching new authors and/or literary groups. In other words, they should have developed their competences according to Dublin descriptors.
