Tatiana Efremova is a scholar of Soviet and post-Soviet Russian literature, film, and
media culture. She received her Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, with emphasis in Slavic
Studies and a minor in film, at New York University.
Her current book project Beyond Nostalgia: Remediating the Soviet Body in Russian
Culture under Putin (2000-2022), looks beyond the state monopoly on the Soviet past in search
of alternative ways of processing the Soviet downfall in contemporary film, fashion, multimedia
, and performance art. Areas of related teaching and research interests include gender theory,
the history of global feminism, cultural forms of protest, social media, and cultural consumption. Dr.
