Kommentar
This course analyzes the connection between empire, war, and migration in modern East European, Russian, and Eurasian history, from the late nineteenth century to the end of the Soviet Union. The geographical scope extends from the East European borderlands to the Russian heartland, from Ukraine, Belarus, and 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 East European, Russian, and Eurasian history? The first part of the class is organized chronologically. It begins with the late Tsarist empire, moves on to the Russian Revolution 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, encounters with space and the natural environment, and identity, ethnicity and social questions.
