Modern History of the Caucasus (JTB 241) Associate Professor Adrian Brisku, PhD Doctoral Student, Lamiya Panahova Department of Russian & East European Studies, Charles University https://cuni.academia.edu/adrianBrisku adrian.brisku@fsv.cuni.cz; lamiya.panahova@fsv.cuni.cz Annotation Particularly since the ‘long nineteenth century’, the peoples, nationalities, and nations in the Caucasus region – comprised of the North Caucasus, small republics at the southern border of the Russian Federation and of the South Caucasus, the nation-states of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia adjacent to it – have had a shared history in terms of tsarist and Soviet Russian occupation, control and co-option, interethnic conflict and cooperation as well as social (under)development. Starting with a conceptual discussion of the region, its linguistic, ethnic, and cultural diversity as well as its pre-Tsarist political history, this course traces political, economic, and cultural processes that the North and South Caucasus have undergone during the tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet periods, underscoring factors, discourses and legacies that have shaped its past, still impact its present and potentially orient its future.
