3 hours Running an Empire: The Rise and Fall of the Russian Empire (18th-early 20th cc.). The course explores literature and sources that reveal heterogeneity of the Russias society and polity in the past. The focus will be on imperial expansion, imperial rule, colonialism, resistance, and cooperation of different imperial subjects. The case of the Russian Empire is representative of other imperial polities, and hence it helps us understand empire and imperialism as global phenomena. We will consider Russias imperial policies in the Caucasus, Ukrainian lands, Central Asia, Siberia and central Russia, and will reconstruct imperial visions looking from the imperial capital, St. Petersburg. At the end, we will learn to understand the genesis of current political organization of this part of the world and the nature of current political conflicts there. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
