Ukraine: Politics, Economy and Society
Themes
This is a year-long survey course tracing the history of Ukraine from earliest times to the present. The format will follow two hour-long lectures per week. Introductory lectures will treat the concept of national or territorial history as a cultural phenomenon, followed by a chronological survey of the region's development. Among the topics to be considered are: Kievan Rus' (ninth to thirteenth centuries); the Mongol impact; Lithuanian-Polish-Crimean period; Orthodox revival; the Cossack state; national awakening under Austrian and Russian rule; post-World War I statehood; interwar Poland and Soviet Ukraine; World War II to independent statehood. Within each of these periods, political, socio economic and cultural factors will be considered to the degree that they had a determining impact upon the historical process. Much attention will also be given to the developments among non-ethnic Ukrainians living on Ukrainian territory, especially Jews, Poles, Tatars, Germans, and Russians.
