Why is Russia so hostile to the ideas of freedom and democracy? Why does it not view the world with the same perspective as we do in the West? This session presents an overview of Russia’s modern history. We begin with the 1917 Revolution and the founding of communism in Russia. We then look at Stalin’s years through World War II and the division of Europe. Next is a review of the Cold War years and the reforms under Gorbachev. Finally, we take a close look at the age of Putin. We will examine why Russia remains a paradox of political, economic, and military power.
