This course focuses on Russia and the Soviet Union since the Russian Revolution in 1917. For most of the twentieth century, the world was profoundly affected by communism and its center in Russia. Why was there a revolution in Russia in 1917? What happened there that produced such a dark figure as Stalin? What characterized the Soviet Union and its culture? Why did it collapse at the beginning of the 1990s and what are the prospects for Russia in the future? These questions will provide the backdrop for a close examination of Russian society and Soviet film since 1917. This course counts toward the Eastern European and Eurasian Studies major/minor. GLAFC, Spring semester, even years.
