Lead reputation
The academic community in the US, the UK, and Russia work with and respect the colleagues of the Passau Slavic unit. We read their research routinely, attend their presentations at major world conferences, and collaborate with them on research projects. Passau is a well-established center for Russian studies (including contemporary culture) and we consider it among the European leaders in our field. It is worthy of your consideration to rescind this decision and restore Slavistik at Passau. Respectfully, Prof. Condee, Director Russian Studies Center, University of Pittsburgh
