Poslední úprava: Mgr. Karel Svoboda, Ph.D. (06.10.2023)
The main questions we should try to address are topics such as: What is post-soviet in Russia? Why is Vladimir Putin still popular in Russia while negatively perceived in the West? Who rules the country? Is Russia a great power? Does it promote its borders or defend its territory? Nevertheless, students are welcomed and encouraged to raise their questions. After finishing this course, students should be able to analyze the problems of contemporary Russia in their depth and explain them not only by simple declarations and truths so well known in newspapers. We will be simply asking questions, trying to find possible explanations. Our goal is to understand and discuss, not to judge. After absolving this course, students should be able to analyze impartially and without emotions the situation in Russia and its role in the world. |

The course aims to present the problems of the development of post-Soviet Russia. The students should be able to present their views and critically evaluate alternative explanations. They learn the basic characteristics of Russian political, economic, and social development. The student should train the skill to present arguments for his views and to use others' arguments for improvement of his stances. |

The class will be on-site, in Jinonice Do not worry about asking questions, raising remarks, etc. Your reading materials will be in moodle. https://dl2.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=3969 Since this is a master's class, a discussion will be the core of our work. Nevertheless, even those who do not possess previous training in Russian affairs are welcomed since the discussions should be based on readings. The readings are chosen to present diverse views on Russia, be it pro-government, anti-government, liberal, statist, etc. |

Students are expected to have a reasonable command of English. The core of the course should be a discussion, not a lecture. Therefore, the ability to formulate your thoughts is essential for the success of the course. The course should be lively, not boring listening to my lectures. For each class, up to 50 pages of readings are assigned. Students are expected to contribute to the discussions with questions and remarks based on their readings. Furthermore, for each of the classes, each student should be able to bring some news from current affairs (please, not newborn cute puppy…) and interpret it somehow. The student should write a book review on a chosen book from the given list of readings (nine thousand characters including spaces - 1400 words). The deadline for the review submission is November 28. The review will be submitted via Moodle. The final test is based on a multiple-choice plus open-question system, it covers both reading and the topics for the whole course - in person. It represents 60 percent of the final grade.
Grading from the total result is determined as follows: • 91 and more = A • 81 - 90 % = B • 71 - 80 % = C • 61 - 70 % = D • 51 - 60 % = E • 0 - 50 % = F |
