Modern Russia: History, Culture and Language
The scope of this group will be Russian and Soviet history from the late nineteenth century to the present day. The history will include significant aspects such as late tsarist Russia, the Russian Revolution, Russia and the War, the development and break-up of the Soviet Union, and post-Soviet Russia up to the present day. Alongside the history, we will explore key areas such as Russian politics, culture, society, the economy and other aspects of interest.
There will also be a significant language component, running alongside this. We will explore the Russian language, one of the major languages in the world, given the number of speakers. We will quickly learn the basics of the language, including the alphabet (not as difficult as many people imagine!), gradually working onwards. For those who may be keen to develop their interest and competency in the language further, there will be the opportunity to work towards a higher level of proficiency.
We are meeting fortnightly on a Thursday 9:30 to 11:00 in the Upper Class Room, Holy Trinity Parish Centre. Please see timetable (button below) for specific dates. If you are interested in knowing more about this group, please contact me.
