of the Soviet Union and its institutions, and the crisis of the
Soviet system – in addition to analyzing the dramatic political
and social transformations after 1991. Emphasis is placed on the
multinational and multicultural character of the states formed
in this region. Lectures are given by specialists in political
science, history, sociology, literature, film, music, economics, and anthropology, and introduce students to varied approaches
in the study of the region. Readings include recent scholarship, documents, and literature; several films produced in the region
will be shown. Requirements: midterm and final exams plus a book
review. This course provides an excellent foundation for students
considering careers in the new countries of the region and for
