About Me

I am an instructor, translator of Russian, and academic specializing in Slavic studies. I work on Slavic horror, Nikolai Gogol, and LGBT narratives in late Soviet culture. I previously taught Slavic culture and Russian at Swarthmore College and at Princeton, where I also defended my dissertation on Nikolai Gogol as a horror writer.
Originally from Novosibirsk, Russia, I live in Philadelphia, PA.
I am always on the lookout for collaborators and like-minded scholars, so feel free to get in touch at levnik9@gmail.com.
