Module Specification for History of Russia since 1881
In the event of any conflict between the information contained below and the
departmental handbooks, the departmental handbooks take precedence.
Aims & Objectives
This module is an option available to second year History honours and joint-degree students
and to visiting and part-time students and 2+2 students in any year of their studies. Options
are designed to complement the first and second year core modules by providing the
opportunity for study in greater depth of particular regions, periods or themes.
Context: This module develops themes of political, social, cultural and economic history
raised in the core module in the context of Russian history since 1881.
Syllabus: The module is divided into four sets of historical questions - those relating to the
origins of the Russian revolution; to its course from c1900-1921; to its immediate
consequences in the rise of Stalinism; and to Russia's attempts to deal with the legacy of
Stalinism from 1953 to the early twenty-first century. Attention will be given to political,
social, economic and cultural aspects of these questions.
Teaching & Learning: The module will be taught through weekly lectures and one hour
seminars and individual tutorials to discuss feedback on essays.
Assessment: see appropriate History Departmental handbooks.
Note: Deadlines for non-assessed essays are weeks 7, 14 and 17.
ALL LONG ESSAY TOPICS FOR ALL CATEGORIES OF STUDENT WILL
NORMALLY BE NEGOTIATED WITH THE TUTOR.

Intended Learning Outcomes
a) the further development of study, writing and communication skills
b) to provide the opportunity, through writing a 4500 word essay, to develop in greater depth
an analysis of aspects of the secondary literature and available primary sources relating to
topics covered in the module; to allow for greater study of topics the student wishes to learn
about which are only covered marginally in the module such as foreign policy; religion;
literature and the arts; and thereby to develop independent critical and analytical skills listed
below.
c) developing critical analytical skills based on
 introducing students to a wide variety of approaches to the study of Russian History from
the late nineteenth to early twenty-first centuries
 conveying basic historical knowledge of Russian History from the late nineteenth to early
twenty-first centuries
 utilising interdisciplinary perspectives to deepen historical understanding
 providing students with the opportunity to evaluate critically a range of primary sources
including official documents, statistics, writings of leading historical figures and
memoirs.
 examining a wide range of secondary sources and secondary interpretations of Russian
History from the late nineteenth to early twenty-first centuries
 To enable students to produce written and verbal analyses based on the above
Mark scale
All undergraduate modules are marked using one overall system, which runs from 0-100.
Marks fall into different classes of performance:
17-point marking scale
Where an assessment or exam is a single piece of work, or a small number of long exam
answers or assessed essays, work is marked using the following scale.
The descriptors in this table are interpreted as appropriate to the subject and the year/level
of study, and implicitly cover good academic practice and the avoidance of plagiarism.
With the exception of Excellent 1st, High Fail and Zero, the descriptors cover a range of
marks, with the location within each group dependent on the extent to which the elements in
the descriptor and departmental/faculty marking criteria are met.
