Abstract
Pre-requisites: basic knowledge of Russian history at the level of high school. Russian History course for non-historians at HSE university is aimed at forming common civic identity of Russian society via developing historical consciousness and ability to reflect on diachronic and synchronic processes, events, and phenomena in Russia and in the world in their dynamics and interconnection based on the principle of historicism and achievements of the modern historical scholarship and related humanitarian disciplines.

The emergence of the Russian state as well as social, economic, cultural, ethno-confessional processes on the territory of modern Russia will be considered in the course based on primary and secondary sources.
Russian History course also includes information about the most important processes and events in world history making it possible to put the history of Russia in a context, show it as an integral part of the world historical process and evaluate the contribution of Russia to the development of the world civilization.
