Learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to present the students with historical development, culture and present day status of the selected peoples of CIC countries. Due to the dominant attention paid to the East Slavic peoples in other courses, this course deals mostly with the non-Slavic peoples of CIS countries. This course does not aim to present the students with a complete list of the peoples of CIS countries, but to let them understand the problematic of coexistence of different peoples in the multiethnic and multicultural state, the issue of dialogue among cultures and, on the other hand, finding the common roots of the ethnophobia and religious hatred. Apart from the large peoples who play an important role in RF or CIS countries, we shall mention also the peoples who had an important role in the past and who created a specific culture which disappeared due to the assimilation processes. Students will get familiar with the processes of national self-realization and the effort of self-positioning, but also the opposite process of disappearing of peoples and the attempts at their revitalization.
Students will get familiar with the question of evolution, culture and current status of selected peoples of the CIS countries.
