“Russia unquestionably remains central to world affairs, and the politics and societies of the post-Soviet space are fascinating. Oberlin, home to specialists with a variety of perspectives on Russian and Eastern European history, politics, the environment, social conditions, high and every-day culture, is a fertile place for cross-disciplinary study of the region.”
