A top-scoring Russian A (Lang & Lit) RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Select a limited and well-defined set of primary texts or a specific corpus that allows for in-depth analysis, avoiding vague or broad references to Russian literature or media.
Identify and focus on a specific literary, linguistic, or discursive aspect of the chosen texts, such as narrative style, symbolism, or genre conventions, rather than just general themes.
Craft your research question to be analytical or evaluative in nature, prompting investigation into how or why certain elements function within the texts, rather than merely describing them.
Formulate your research question as a complete, grammatically correct sentence that expresses a single, coherent line of inquiry, avoiding multiple independent questions.
Ensure that your research question explicitly references Russian-language texts, authors, or discourse to clearly position your essay within the context of Russian A: Language and Literature.
Focusing on general topics or contextual issues instead of specific textual features or angles that allow for close reading and analysis.
Formulating a question that invites mere description rather than analysis, failing to require an argumentative stance or critical evaluation of the texts.
Using broad or vague references to literature or media without specifying particular texts or authors, making it difficult to establish a focused scope.
Failing to mention Russian-language literature or discourse, which can lead to misalignment with the criteria for a Group 1 EE.
Creating a research question that is not a complete sentence or contains multiple independent questions, which can confuse the main line of inquiry.

Try to link the construction of meaning to Cyrillic and stylistic tradition. It is best to analyze how these features operate within concrete texts, rather than discussing culture in abstract terms. Period (Soviet/post-Soviet/contemporary) often sharpens research questions.
Try pairing a specific Russian text, author, or genre with a literary technique (such as rhetoric, framing, multimodal design, or narrative voice). Period (Soviet/post-Soviet/contemporary) often sharpens research questions.
Yes, this is possible if the shared analytical focus is clearly defined. We recommend avoiding broad topics like "comparing two countries" unless you are using a specific textual method.
