Cíle předmětu
The main task of the course is to examine common features and specificity of two periods of modern Russian history – late Soviet period (1953-1991) and a new Russian one (1992-2023). The course intends to observe this period of Russia in series of lectures in a sequence of main events in home and foreign politics, in society and culture.
I think that it is better not to divide Soviet and Post-Soviet periods as something principally different. On the contrary only if one studies this period as one consequent process, he can hope to understand the real essence of the today state of Putin. On the other hand some clear differences between these two periods show us better the inner unity of the Russian Soviet and Post-Soviet history.
When I speak about politics, I use the term “Soviet” to the realities took place before 1992, and “Russian” from 1992 up till now. When I speak on society and culture I prefer to use one term – “Russian”, i.e. “Russian society”, “Russian culture” taking into account neither ethnical nor linguistic, but civic sense of the term.
