Curriculum Vitae
Courses 2007
The
lecture course surveys the social, political and cultural
history of Russia from the middle of the
19th century to the 21st century-the most recent events. Soviet
socialist experiment will be considered as an alternative way to
modernity. Course
will emphasize the developments of Stalinism, basing on the modern
approaches of western historiography and new revelations from the
Russian archives. The course is multi-media based: we will draw not only
on the text and documents, but on photos, paintings, films and audio
clips. Lectures are based on PowerPoint presentations.

The
course examines the history of Russian empire from Peter the Great and
his early eighteenth-century modernizing reforms to Russia's last tsar
Nicholas II ousted by the revolution of 1917. The course will provide a
survey of key events and processes of social change while emphasizing in
particular political thought and ideologies such as nationalism,
socialism, as well as Russian culture of that period with its great
achievements. This course has been conceived out of love for Russia and
the desire to convey this to students who often have little idea of
Russia's sufferings and contributions to humanity. To introduce the
student to major controversies and stimulate them to probe more deeply,
I'll present contrasting views and interpretations of key events and
compare the Russian development with other imperial projects.
The
course is multi-media based: we will draw not only on the text and
