Learning outcomes
|
The lectures focus on issues that continue to shape Central and Eastern Europe to this day. Emphasis is placed on examining these issues from a long-term perspective (Russia's territorial expansion, the role of the churches, changes in the nature of monarchical power in Tsarist Russia, the specific features of the political system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, etc.). The histories of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and the Baltic states are understood as the histories of a multiethnic and multicultural region.
This course provides a basic overview of the main issues in the early history of Central and Eastern Europe.
