Path of Blood: The Post-Soviet Gangster, His Mistress and Their Others in Aleksei Balabanov’s Genre Films

Florian Weinhold studied for his PhD in Russian Cinema and Cultural Studies under the sagacious supervision of Professor Stephen Hutchings at The University of Manchester, UK. His PhD received a scholarship from the Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and their trust was repaid, when it received a first class in 2012. Previously, Florian had studied for an M.A. in Russian Studies at The Manchester University, which also gave him a full scholarship, well-earned with a ’distinction’ in 2005. In 2001, Florian’s B.A. (Hons.) Linguistics and Russian received a ’first degree’ and ’distinction in spoken Russian’.
