RUSS 399 - ShortTrec: St. Petersburg: Cultural Capital of Russia

1-8 credits
An English-language based Russian culture course (May-June TREC) explores the art, architecture and historical importance of St. Petersburg, Russia. As the capital city of the Romanov czars, the birthplace of the Bolshevik Revolution and the hometown of Vladimir Putin St. Petersburg (aka Leningrad and Petrograd), presents an opportunity to explore how a culture has continually recontextualized the use of the city spaces and monuments as regimes and national identity changed over time. By the end of this TREC course students will be familiar with the basic themes in Russian history and culture and will be able to discuss and write about them based upon their excursions to the museums, palaces, monuments of the city, as well as in-class lectures and discussions. They will be able to understand the relationship between private and public spaces and how that has changed historically. CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity/International, CLA-Off Campus.
