For further information and to enrol: prof. Marco Natalizi marco.natalizi@unige.it Contents The aim of this workshop is to offer to the students of the three-year course in History an in-depth study and seminar discussion on the political and social history of the USSR up to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, in order to refine their critical approach to the various historical sources and to develop a good mastery of the historiographical debate. The workshop focuses on the history of the USSR/Russia, but the events of the Soviet regime will be contextualised in a broader framework, through the study of the ways in which the Kremlin's international challenges have influenced its domestic agenda. After an extensive introduction reflecting on the idea of 'Greater Russia', the major phases of the Soviet twentieth century will be analysed, with a stronger focus on the years 1928-1953. The impact of the Stalin regime on the Soviet Union in economic and political terms, but also in social and cultural terms, the real scope and limits of Kruščëv's 'thaw', and finally the main features of the last years of the USSR will be examined. Methodology. The meetings will combine the analysis of primary sources, which concern crucial aspects of the topic addressed, with an in-depth historiographical discussion. Bibliography O.
