HSTY2613: Russia's Revolutions: 1905 to Present
2021 unit information
This course surveys the history of the revolutionary project in Russia from the first clash with tsarism in 1905 through the twin revolutions of 1917, Stalin's dictatorship and World War II, and the breakup of the Soviet Union in the 1990s. Out of the Russian empire, the Bolsheviks claimed to be building a new socialist utopia: a scene of radical social and cultural experimentation. How successful were they and what legacy have they left for the post-Soviet world?
