	39796	Lecture-Discussion	G4	11:00AM -12:20PM	MW	219 Gregory Hall	Hitchins, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/14-05/07/14 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Eastern Europe Since 1919. Description: The region between Western Europe and the Soviet Union /Russia in the twentieth century was (and is) a world of contradictions. We see them in political experiments ranging from liberalism and peasantism to fascism and communism; in the creation of democratic institutions and the failure of democracy; in nationalism before, during, and after Communism; in cultural integration into urban Europe and the persistence of the folk spirit of the village; in strivings to industrialize and the persistence of agriculture; and in the advance of materialism and the deepening of traditional spirituality. Within this broad context, we shall examine society and politics and national identity in the 1920s and 1930s, the nature of the post-World War II Communist regimes, and the transition to democracy and integration into Europe after 1989. We shall also have to decide how, and to what extent, Eastern Europe differed from the West and whether, in the twentieth century, the gap between them was closed. The countries to be studied are Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, the former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, and Albania. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
