Ethan Briggs

Taking Russian almost by accident at the University of Vermont, Ethan has grown to have a deep love and interest in both the language and culture, graduating with a bachelors in Russian Language from Vermont in 2024. With this, Ethan also spent a summer in Middlebury College, partaking in an immersion program for Russian. His research focuses on the late 20th century in Russia: the end of the Soviet Union, and creation of the Russian Federation. Outside of studies, Ethan has worked as a Russian language tutor, helping those who are just getting in to learning the language. He hopes to continue this role, encouraging others to get into the language as his professors did for him.
