On October 23, 2008 the Indiana University Hungarian Cultural Association commemorated the 52nd Anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. Following a welcome by Andrew Burton, REEI Academic Advisor, Professor Ágnes Fülemile, the Visiting György Ránki Chair of Hungarian Studies at Indiana University, gave a commemorative address. Professor Fülemile suggested that the Hungarian Revolution had caused the first cracks in the façade of Communism. She also emphasized the importance of Hungarian lyrical poetry in illuminating the great disconnect between the promises and realities of communism. She discussed the backgrounds and poetry of four distinguished Transylvanian poets whose poetry, she suggests, “shrieks with one voice, ‘No more dictatorship!’”
Following her address five Hungarian language students recited the poetry of Transylvanian poets Sándor Kányádi, Aladár Lászlóffy, Domokos Szilágyi and Gizella Hervay. Common throughout all of these poems are their statement against the practices of Communism. The readings were followed by a piano solo performance of Ferenc Liszt’s St. Francis of Assisi Preaches to the Birds.
The Russian and East European Institute (REEI) was established in 1958 on Indiana University's Bloomington campus. REEI administers one of the country's leading programs in Russian and East European area studies. REEI has been designated one of sixteen U.S. Department of Education-funded Title VI National Resource/FLAS Centers for Russia and Eastern Europe for the 2006-2009 grant period.
More than one hundred faculty from eighteen departments and schools are affiliated with the Institute. About 250 IU students are pursuing interdisciplinary study of the REEI region in bachelor, master of arts, professional school, or doctoral degree programs. We invite prospective students to read the letter of greeting from REEI's Director, David Ransel. Prospective students may also email the Institute to request materials by mail. Please include the following in your letter: name, full address, type of degree you are interested in and how you heard about the program.
The Russian and East European Institute is located in Ballantine Hall, near the center of the IU-Bloomington campus. The main office, located in Ballantine Hall 565, is open from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. (U.S. Eastern time zone) on university business days. We invite you to take an on-line campus tour or visit us in person.
