Tps:Revolutionary Russia, 1905-1938
In the first half of the twentieth century, revolution washed over Russia in three waves: the Revolution of 1905, the February and October Revolutions of 1917, and Joseph Stalin's 'Revolution from Above' of the 1930s, which included the Great Terror. What sparked these explosions? How did they transform lives and worlds? What legacies did they bequeath not just to Russia but the world? We will investigate these questions within competing historiographical schools as well as from a variety of social viewpoints. Readings will include primary sources.
