Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to explain the roots of the Russian revolution, to analyze its course and to highlight the main impacts of the revolutionary process for Russian society. Revolution is understood as a complex transformation process that has been going through the whole of society since the late 19th century until the 1930s. The lectures will therefore discuss the impacts of the revolutionary process on the various social groups of Russian society as well as possible alternatives within the revolutionary process. One of the key issues will be the Bolshevik phase of the Russian Revolution, or the question how much the victory of the Bolsheviks and the promotion of their vision of revolution was inevitable.
Students will be able to explain the causes of the Russian Revolution, describe its course and evaluate the various aspects of its impact on Russian society.
