Class description
The Russian Empire and Its Nationalities
Multiethnicity was a crucial factor in Imperial Russian history. How was the multiethnic empire held together, and what was the role of the "nationalities question" in its disintegration? How was cultural diversity articulated and manifested in politics? What were the Imperial approaches to different nationalities? We shall explore these questions through examining the issues of identity, nationality policies, and ideologies. Particular attention will be given to the development of the nationalistic discourse in Imperial Russia.
