GOVT 96.02 Russian Political Systems
This course will give students an in-depth understanding of domestic Russian political systems. It will begin with a brief history of the Russian nation and then cover contemporary Russian political institutions, political behavior, the national budget, media, human rights, and group politics (race, LGBT rights, youth movements, and gender). Students will benefit from having multiple professors teaching in their specific areas of expertise. Students should come away from this class with a very solid understanding of modern, domestic politics in Russia.
