No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1963–64 to 1966–67; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This course is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the chronological development of art, literature, social, political and religious aspects during the time of Imperial Russia. Emphasis will be placed on the Byzantine influence and Mongol domination which caused the eventual isolation of Russia from Western culture. Special lectures are devoted to the “Westernization” of Russia under Peter the Great and Catherine II, the coming of the Slavophiles and the Russian Intelligentsia, a thorough discussion of social and political conditions, literary and philosophical contributions of the 19th century which ultimately led to the overthrow of the Czarist regime. Part II is entirely devoted to the Soviet Union - cultural, political, nationality problems, the establishment of new social institutions, education, Soviet philosophic thought and scientific achievements are discussed in detail. 3 lectures.
