Instructor(s): P.Chu
Credit: 1
This course explores the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, from its birth amid the Great War to its collapse in 1991 and ongoing dissolution in the twenty-first century. We examine the political and social processes by which a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional empire transformed into the world’s first socialist society. Our focuses include the creation of a revolutionary dictatorship, the evolution of Soviet ideology, everyday life under socialism, industrialization and agricultural collectivization, geopolitical competition, reform, dissent, and nationalism. We devote attention to patterns and variations across the Soviet space, from the Baltic Sea to Siberia and Central Asia.
