About the Archive
This archive houses the recipes, quotes and pop culture that were used to write Sam M. Jamieson '21's senior thesis for the German department of Colorado College in 2021. Mx. Jamieson's thesis focuses on solyanka/soljanka, a stew from Russia that subsequently became popular in former satellite states and regions of the Soviet Union. Solyanka's/Soljanka's popularity endured longer than the governments that popularized it. Besides the soup itself, Mx. Jamieson is interested in solyanka's/soljanka's cultural footprint.

IRB
Mx. Jamieson spoke with Colorado College's IRB and in their estimation it is a harmless project, as they have contributed to de-identifying the interviewees by removing their last names. There is no moral, legal or ethical issue specific to the IRB.
