This course will explore the history of Russia from the beginnings of Kievan Rus= to the Crimean War and we will use this stereotype of Russian despotism as a lens through which to explore its history. Our understanding of Russia will concentrate on three major themes. We will pay attention to the rise of the autocratic state in Russia and its development over time. For many people, as Churchill=s quote alludes to, Russia is synonymous with autocracy and despotism, and we will come to terms with this label. In addition, we will focus on the social history of Russia in this period, and specifically how Russians lived, worked, and interacted with each other. The consolidation and importance of serfdom as the dominant social system in Russia will particularly occupy our attention. Finally, we will explore the cultural history of the region, and explore the role of religion, art, architecture, literature, and daily life within Russian history. If ARussia@ often equals despotism for many, it also conjures up images of beautiful churches, literature, and culture. We will tackle these topics through lectures, films, readings, and discussions, and in the process deepen our understanding of this fascinating country.
