Russian history seminar

For those of you who teach about Russia, The Washington Post is offering a great deal: a retrospective of the end of the USSR. News snippets, headlines, photos, and video. This is the kind of treasure trove you should mine for teaching material.

The Long Breakup: Looking back at the fall of the Soviet Union
Between now and the end of the year, The Post will track the major developments, in real time, of the last six months of the U.S.S.R. With the benefit of hindsight, it's possible to see harbingers of the future: Russians alarmed by the sudden visibility of corruption, angry Muslims occupying a government office in Dagestan, disdain for democracy and fear of disorder.
