Course Description:
This course surveys Soviet history from its inception in 1917 to its collapse in 1991. We explore the fundamental political, social, economic, and cultural changes that occurred during the building of communism in the Soviet Union. In tracing the development of communism we will consider the violent efforts to build a socialist society and its origins, the new Soviet culture that formed, and the development of Soviet nationality policy. We will examine the ways that the newly minted Soviet Union weathered and rallied during World War II, postwar efforts to reinstitute stability, and the breakup of the USSR.
