HIS 251 - Soviet and Post-Soviet Russia

Institution:

Cedar Crest College

Subject:

Description:

An exploration of the historical development of Russia and the Soviet Union from the eve of the 1917 Revolution to the present. Students are encouraged to study the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union as global powers, well before the more familiar role the USSR played as America’s principal adversary during the Cold War. With post-Soviet Russia seeking to define its place in world affairs, students will learn how this task is complicated by the enormous historical deficits accumulated through the years of Communist rule. Students have opportunities to research subjects of special interest, including the use of comparative perspectives on politics, economics, social relations, and culture.
