Making Sense of the World Through History: The History of Russia Part 2 (1918 to 2000)

Historical threads shape the world we live in. Join us as we explore a few in this four-part lecture series hosted by Ken Ing.

TONIGHT: Why did Russia end up with Stalin as it's ruler during the crucial formative years after the 1917 Revolution? How did Gorbachev bubble up to the leadership position in the 1980s? Why did the transition out of the Communist era self-implode? We will examine these questions, ending with Putin taking power in 2000.
