Who I Am

Uppsala University seal

Hello, I am John David Vandevert, a doctoral student at Uppsala University studying musicology. My research theme is 1990s rap in Russia and the aestheticization of the Russian identity and the concept of "Russianness." I have written previously on the censorship of rap in Russia with The Conversation and write regularly for the publication OperaWire. Normally, I edit articles and create articles related to my research, opera, and an eclectic array of musical topics and concepts. I had my first article published with the Journal of Popular Music (2024) and you are more than welcome to email me for a copy if you'd like!

My main goal is rennovate the Russian hip hop article in order to incorporate more of the history, as the concept of Hip Hop culture in Russia is more than the essential four elements but rather: Breaking, Mcing, Djing, skateboarding, breaking, and graffiti. I also am invested in translating articles from Russian to English based on topics connected to Hip Hop in Russia (e.g., Slovetsky, Husky, and Oxxxymiron). I am also invested in translating articles on Russian composers and musicians into English.

Previous Education

I gained my B.A. in Vocal Performance from Westminster Choir College of Rider University. Following my graduation, I pursued a M.A. in musicology from the University of Bristol, gaining a merit for my thesis, "A Contemporary Analysis of “Musical Russianness" as evidenced in Husky’s Album “Hoshkhonog” (2020)." I am now pursuing my doctoral degree from Uppsala University and will be completed in 2027 (2028 if I begin teaching). I plan to pursue a second Ph.D. and postdoctoral studies.

Russian Music and Nationalism: M.F. Walker

1) Pytor Yakovlevich Chaadayev

- Chaadayev's Letters: Argument that Russia was not part of the West and had no culture of its own, responsible with creating the Slavophile/Westerner debate

- The dichotomous position of loathing and loving your country is natural to Russian discourse [Husky fits into this early Intelligentsia mixture]

2) Pavel Annenkov

3) 19th century "Slavophiles" : Rejected the Westernization of Russia and looked to build their own cultural identity

- Ivan Kireyevsky, Alexei Khomyakov, Alaksov Brothers, Yuri Samarin

- England was the model to which they looked for in Russia, English being far enough away from the negative vices of German and France

4) Vladimir Odoyevsky

5) Sergei Solovyov

6) Fyodor Tyutchev

- Heavy influence of Germany and its quality of 'action' and 'reason' in opposition to the nascent Russian identity, whose trait was 'contemplation' and 'impulsivity'

7) Alexander Herzen

8) Lev Shestov

- Derails against the pedanticity of the Europeans and their obsession with time-based activity and the idolization of productivity lest you waste your life [considered Philistinism]

9) Ivan Ilyin

10) Ivan Goncharov

- Oblomovism

11) Vladimir Solovyov

12) Apollon Grigoryev

13) Nikolay Dobrolyubov

- What is Oblomovism? (1859)

14) Vasily Rozanov
