HIST 0301 - Russia To 1917

Institution:

University of Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh Campus

Subject:

History

Description:

In the mid-nineteenth century, when Europe and America had already embarked on the road to industrialization, Russia was a backward agrarian society in which the vast majority of the population were serfs who eked out a living by primitive agricultural techniques. Yet in 1917, it was in Russia that the world's first socialist government came to power. This course traces the development of Russian society, economy and institutions from the liberation of the serfs in 1861 through the Revolution of 1917. The central questions are: when and why did Russian institutions collapse? And what other factors accounted for the violent social upheaval of 1917?
