Survey of the Soviet Union and its Successor States. REES
395 is an inter-disciplinary survey of the Soviet Union and its
successor states. It assumes that an understanding of the Russia's
pre-1917 history, the Russian Revolution, the Soviet political
and economic systems, and the multinational character of the former
USSR is essential to a liberal arts education in the 1990s. The
course is organized both historically and topically. During most
of the term, lectures proceed chronologically from the origins
of the Russian Empire to the formation of new states after the
collapse of Soviet power in 1991. The latter part of the course
is thematic, including lectures on politics, society, economics, gender roles, film, and religion. We hope that this approach will
provide students with an understanding of the historical and social
context for the ongoing transformation of the politics and culture
on the territories of the former Soviet Union.
