Whither Russia

Whither Russia
Over just the course of your lifetime, it might seem as if Russia – a country of rich cultural heritage, tremendous geographic size, military might, and natural resource wealth – has been thoroughly transformed. What kind of country has it become since the Soviet Union dissolved? To what extent has it democratized and integrated into the global economy? How have its people fared during this period? The answers to these questions remain the source of much debate. In this seminar we will explore the how’s and why’s of Russia’s transformation, addressing the consequences for its people and its global role. e)
