The Russian American Paradox   

Relations between the United States and Russia date back to the time of the American Revolution and were critical throughout the 19th century from the U.S. Civl War through the building of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Little of this history is known and without it, it is almost impossible to understand the recent decade's dynamics. This six-week course will explore 245 years of Russian American engagement, concluding with a deeper look at the twists and turns of relations over the past two decades. Each lecture will be enhanceby a  PowerPoint 

LECTURES:

1. The League of Armed Neutrality and the American Revolution; Abraham Lincoln and Czar Alexander II: A Critical Partnership.
2, The Bolsheviks and the American Industrial Revolution.  
3. The World War II Alliance that Defeated Hitler and the Axis Powers and the Eisenhower Effort to Demilitarize the Cold War.
4. Reagan and Gorbachov: The End of Soviet Communism. 
5. The Putin Era and Washington's Shift.
