WiSe 17/18: Russia and the Middle East

Timothy Nunan

Comments

From its wars with the Ottoman and Safavid Empires to its recent military intervention into the Syrian War, Russia has been a major player in the Middle East. Beyond these military engagements, however, the Russian Empire took a special interest in the protection of Orthodox and Armenian minorities; the USSR supported national liberation movements from the Palestine Liberation Organization to Kurdish groups; and today, the Russian Federation has a larger Muslim population than any country in Europe. What impact have these encounters had on Russia as we know it, as well as Middle Eastern societies? This course will engage this question from the late nineteenth century to today. Topics will include Russian Orientalism, the rise of political Islam, and Moscow’s post-1991 foreign policy. While a knowledge of the Russian language or relevant regional languages is welcome, this course does not presume any such competencies. close
