Eleonory Gilburd specializes in the history of modern Russia and the Soviet Union, with a particular interest in Soviet culture, society, and the international context. She is currently working on book projects that include 'Weary Sun,' which explores the history of tango and its creators and audiences in Stalinist Russia and Eastern Europe. Her research focuses on connections and exchanges within the largely unexamined Russian-speaking communities bordering the Soviet Union. Additionally, her project 'Entangled Histories of Soviet Newspeak' examines the rise and fall of Soviet newspeak and its intricate relationship with daily life and reforms in the Russian language. Gilburd's notable publication, 'See Paris Die: Soviet Lives in Western Culture' (Harvard, 2018), investigates the Western cultural imports to the Soviet Union during the 1950s and 1960s, highlighting the cultural exchange and its implications for Soviet society. She has received multiple awards for her research, including the Cultural Studies Prize and the Wayne S. Vucinich Book Prize. Her work has been supported by various institutions, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Philosophical Society.
