Abstract

Recent Trends in the Scholarship on Soviet History Современные тенденции в исследованиях советской истории Blended (using online course “Stalin and Stalinism in Russian History” by Irina Filatova: https://www.coursera.org/learn/stalinism) The course is designed to introduce students to some of the recent developments in the scholarship on Soviet history in English. The participants of the course will acquaint themselves with the latest debates in the field, methodological approaches and interpretative frameworks used by historians and the representatives of other disciplines. These issues will be contextualized within the long-term history and framework of Soviet, Post-Soviet, Communist, and East European studies. The online course will serve as a backbone for the discussion of the phenomenon of Stalinism, as well as Stalin himself. Overall, the course seeks to provide a deeper and multifarious understanding of the “Soviet experiment”. Also, Soviet history would serve as a “laboratory” that would allow assessing the application of some of the latest historiographical trends and approaches to the Soviet material, for instance: transnational history, global history, environmental history, materiality turn, new political history, history of emotions, etc.
