Ingrid Maier (born 19 April 1951) is a German-Swedish philologist and historian. She was professor of Slavic languages at Uppsala University from 2000 until her retirement in 2018.^[1] Maier is known for her critical editions of the seventeenth-century Russian news translations known as Vesti-Kuranty,^[2] and for her research on the origins of Russian court theatre.^[3]

Education and career

Maier studied Russian, Polish, German philology and history in Heidelberg, Munich, Uppsala, Konstanz and Moscow. She received her doctorate in Slavic languages at Uppsala University in 1991 and became a full professor there in 2000.^[1]

From 1999 to 2017 she co-directed the Vesti-Kuranty publication project, which produced scholarly editions of seventeenth-century Russian translations of Western European news reports.^[2] Between 2013 and 2018 she led the research project "Cross-Cultural Communication in Early Modern Russia", funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.^[4]

In 2005–2010 Maier held a research professorship in Slavic studies at the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities.^[1] She became a member of the Royal Society of Humanities in Uppsala in 2006,^[5] and was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Institute of Russian Language of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2016.^[1]

Research

Maier's research focuses on cross-cultural exchanges between Muscovite Russia and Western Europe in the seventeenth century. Her 1997 monograph on verbal government in the Vesti-Kuranty has been described as a "model for further studies" on Russian historical syntax.^[6]

Together with Claudia R. Jensen she has published studies on the first Russian court theatre (1672–1676), based on previously unknown archival materials.^[7] Her 2008 edition of foreign originals for the Vesti-Kuranty was credited by Helmut Keipert with placing the study of the texts "on a completely new basis".^[2]

In 2023 she co-authored Cross-Cultural Communication in Early Modern Russia with Daniel C. Waugh. The book was reviewed in The Historian by Kees Boterbloem.^[8]
