History 211E. 100 Years of Russian Foreign Policy (3h)
This course studies the diplomatic history of Russia and the Soviet Union over the past one hundred years, from the time of the Franco-Russian Alliance to the post-Soviet period. At its heart, the course contains the traditional study of a nation's foreign policy, here examining Russia's foreign relations over its most turbulent time period. Diplomatic and political histories will be used to explore other states, both near and far. Indeed, while the course will focus on Russia's relationships with Europe and the United States, it will also consider Russian and Soviet activity in Asia and Africa, both as part of its relations with the above states and in their own right. In the process of this, however, the course has elements of cultural and intellectual history. On the one hand, trends in the Russian Orthodox Church affected Russia's view of itself and its role among the European nations. On the other hand Russian intellectual and ideological struggles of these years affected Russia's view of itself in relation to these states as well as Russia's sense of itself. The most obvious result of these debates is the revolution of 1917 which brought the Bolsheviks to power, but their influence is far broader than that.
