HIS 223 - Russian and Slavic History From Earliest Times to Peter the Great (3 Cr.)
This course opens with the earliest known history of the Slavic peoples. It proceeds to examine the conversion to Orthodox Christianity; the medieval Kievan Rus’ state; the Mongol conquest; the rise of Muscovy; the establishment of serfdom; the beginnings of the Romanov dynasty; and cultural changes of the seventeenth century that paved the way for a new phase of history beginning with Peter the Great. We will focus on political, ideological, cultural, and religious factors that produced a unique Russian civilization. Prerequisite: sophomore standing and one of: HIS 116 , HIS 220 or HIS 222 . Variable semesters. Corcoran.
