Cíle předmětu
A series of six lectures given by a special guest of the Masaryk University, a distinguished specialist in Russian history, professor Andrej Zubov.
Annotation:
The Russian Catastrofy, i.e. the Russian revolution took place in the first quarter of the XXth century. Richard Pipes defined its borders as 1900-1927. But I prefer more narrow dates – 1917-1922. Preceding period was the time of attempt to turn Russia to a way of modern liberal and democratic development, in some sense to continue the Great Reforms which undertook Alexandre II in 1858-1881. The revolutionary coup d’état of 1917 crushed all these previous attempts. From the five years long Civil war Russia didn’t go out as a modernized state and society but as a totalitarian autocracy in the spirit of Renaissance monarchies of Cosimo de Medici, Henry VIII of England or John the Terrible of Moscow. Stylish socialist phraseology ought not to misguide the character and essence of the Soviet communist regime which was an archaic despotism. This form of the state existed up till the demolishment of the USSR and was revived almost immediately in the mid of 1990th. We may see this archaic regime in the war with almost the whole civilized world now.
