SoSe 16: Empire, War and Migration in Modern Russia, Eastern Europe and Eurasia

Franziska Exeler

Comments

This course analyzes the connection between empire, war, and migration in modern Russian, East European and Eurasian history, from the late nineteenth century to the present day. The geographical scope extends from the German-Polish borderlands to the Russian heartland, from the Baltic states to Central Asian countries like Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and from big cities such as Moscow to far-off, remote places like Magadan and Vorkuta. We will examine different forms of migration ranging from forced to voluntary, from violent displacement to labor migration, and from domestic to international, beyond a state’s borders. What migratory processes did war historically bring about, interrupt, or transform? And in what ways did this affect empire-building/state-building projects in modern Russian, East European and Eurasian history? The first part of the class is organized chronologically. It begins with the late Tsarist empire, moves on to the Russian Revolutions and the First World War, covers the Second World War, the creation of the Soviet Bloc in Eastern Europe and the Cold War, and ends with the demise of one of the most radical political experiments in twentieth century history, the Soviet Union. The second part of the class is structured thematically, focusing on issues such as gender, space and natural environment, cultural encounters and ethnicity, and social conflicts and transformations. close
