Abstract

In the fall semester of 1974, Associate Professor Ingvild Broch received the first four students of Russian at the University of Tromsø. In November 2024, we celebrated the first half century of Russian studies at our university, which is now known as UiT The Arctic University of Norway. In this article, I provide a brief historical sketch and a report from the anniversary seminar.
