Positive views of U.S. history in the 1990s were followed by a wave of anti-Americanism, said Ivan Kurilla, who teaches 19th-century Russian-American diplomatic relations at Volgograd State University and was an exchange student at Kent State University in Ohio in 1990.

But “the drop in interest is passing,” said Viktoria Zhuravleva, an expert on the cultural aspects of U.S.-Russian relations who is in charge of American studies at the Russian State University for the Humanities.

American studies in Russia have also developed a wide regional and interdisciplinary reach. In Soviet times, they were focused in Moscow, especially at Moscow State University and the U.S.A.-Canada Institute.

Volgograd State University has emerged as a surprising center of American studies. The university has exchanges, among others, with Kent State and Michigan State University, and Mr. Kurilla directs a center and edits a scholarly journal there, both called Americana.
