RPSS 201 - Introduction to Russian and Post-Soviet Studies


Fall or Spring (3) Corney, Prokhorova, Prokhorov (College 200, ALV)

This course serves as a “gateway” to the Russian and Post-Soviet Studies major and provides an empirical, conceptual and methodological foundation for the more advanced courses. It introduces students to some of the key facts, debates and myths in and about the region; discusses the concept of “Russia” as it has been conceived of by various disciplines; and demonstrates the interdisciplinary approach through a case study.  Topics may vary: consumption and everyday life; Russia and the West, etc.  (This course is anchored in the ALV domain, and also considers aspects of the CSI domain.)
