1 Department of History, University of Calgary, Winter 2008 Lecturer: Dr Alexander Hill Telephone: or Main Office Office: Social Sciences Class Time: Tuesday and Thursday 09:30-10:45 Location: Science Theatre 131 Office Hours: Monday 10:00-11:00 and Tuesday 15:00-16:00 Alexander II The battleship Potemkin Lenin and Stalin Collectivization HTST : Late Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union This course is concerned with the history of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union from the reign of Alexander I from 1801 to the collapse of the Soviet Union in Moving from Russia s emergence as a great power during the Napoleonic Wars we will examine her attempts to maintain this prominent position in Europe, and in particular after defeat in the Crimean War was seen to highlight Russia s increasing economic and social backwardness. For the period 1861 to 1914 particular attention will be paid to conflict between reformist and conservative elements in society, and the progress of social and economic reform in response to events of We will then move on to look at the causes of Russia s revolutions of 1917, including Russia s participation in the First World War, and the continuation of the struggle for the political succession during the Russian Civil War. During the period from October 1917 to 1991 the Bolshevik Party dominated what became, in 1924, the Soviet Union. An important theme for this element of the course will be the relationship between ideology, geopolitics and policy. We will examine the nature of the emergent Stalinist system, legitimation by Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War, and attempts to reform this system after Stalin s death. The textbook for the course is Riasanovsky and Steinberg s A History of Russia (Seventh Edition), with Kotkin s Armaggedon Averted: The Soviet Collapse being recommended reading for material for lectures Recommended reading from your textbook, as well as selected journal articles and book chapters, is provided with the lecture outline, available as pdf files on Blackboard or online through the library. A number of general works concerned with Imperial Russian and Soviet history are listed at the end of this reading list. Additional reading will be recommended in the lectures as required, which will be particularly relevant to those who choose to write essays concerned with particular lecture themes. Try also to make use of journal article indexes such as Historical Abstracts. Assessment for the course will be two short essays and a final, multiple-choice test. The first essay will deal with Imperial Russia and events of 1917, the second with the Soviet Union. A choice of questions is provided below along with further details of the course. 1

As noted in the Department of History Guide to Essay Presentation, plagiarism may take several forms: Failure to cite sources properly may be considered plagiarism. This could include quotations, and wording used from another source but not acknowledged. Borrowed, purchased, and/or ghostwritten papers are considered plagiarism, as is submitting one's own work for more than one course without the permission of the instructor(s) involved. Extensive paraphrasing of one or a few sources is also considered plagiarism, even when notes are used, unless the essay is a critical analysis of those works. The use of notes does not justify the sustained presentation of another author's language and ideas as one's own. Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. A plagiarized paper will automatically be failed. Plagiarism may also result in a failing grade for the entire course and other penalties as noted in The University of Calgary Calendar.
