Description:

With the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, many hailed the triumph of capitalism and democracy over central planning and singleparty control. Today, many question how much Russia has really changed. This course explores the accomplishments and failures of the Soviet economic system, the transition period and the current situation, with special attention to the question of development in areas such as Siberia, the Far North and the Far East, given their vast mineral wealth combined with severe climate and great distance from the Russian heartland.
