Description

This course tracks the dramatic rise and fall of the Soviet utopian experiment from 1917 to 1991. Revolution, wars, famine, purges, economic upheavals and cultural subversions dot the treacherous landscape of Soviet history. We will investigate both the issues and the actors of the Soviet past. Finally, the course will survey Russia's ongoing crisis of political, national, cultural and military identity.
