Get free access to Hillsdale’s new video series on Russia to learn about Russian history, culture, politics, and foreign policy.
Many dismissed Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. You might remember President Obama saying, “The Cold War’s been over for 20 years. The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.”
But today, all eyes are back on Russia, given its current war with Ukraine and the concurrent shifting balance of power in the world.
Since Peter the Great, Russia’s place among nations has only grown. As it transformed itself from a regional backwater to a great world power, its politics and culture came to influence significant events in our own history.
The need for a better understanding of post-Cold War Russia, in light of its current importance and its long history as a great world power, is why Hillsdale College has created a FREE online video series on Russia.
Filmed at a conference on Russia held at Hillsdale College, this series of six videos will give you a deeper understanding of:
- The history of modern Russia from 1696 to 1917
- The beginning of the Russian Revolution through the fall of the Soviet Union
- Russian contributions to literature through writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky
- Russian contributions to classical music through composers like Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff
- The ideological dimensions of Russian foreign policy under President Putin
- The causes and complications of the Ukraine War
