Description:

For 300 years, scholars have relied upon the accounts of eye-witness travelers to make Russia less mysterious. One famous traveler was responsible for the idea of despotic tsars, others deemed the Muscovy "rude and barbarous," while still another shaped the end of Russian serfdom. This course introduces students to the full sweep of modern Russian history through readings in selected travelers and scholarship based on them. Prior course work on Russia is not required.
