Modern Russia spans eleven percent of the Earth's landmass. A country that large boasts a history to match! This survey class will begin with a look at the early princes who staked their claim to power and their inability to repel Mongol invasions. The colorful characters of the Romanov dynasty will provide key focal points for the course. A study of the Russian Revolution and the establishment of the Soviet Union will wrap up the course.
